Ingredients

For the Cake

15 oz. box yellow cake mix or your favorite yellow cake mix recipe
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp honey
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

For the Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
4 to 5 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 13×9 glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, and honey until well-incorporated.
In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well-blended.
Pour half of the cake batter into your greased pan, spreading it out into a thin layer.
Sprinkle half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly on top of the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and spread evenly. Top the cake with the rest of the brown sugar-cinnamon.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
In the meantime, make the glaze: in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla (adding more powdered sugar or milk to get a thick, but pouring consistency.)
Immediately pour over the cake when it’s done baking, tilting the pan if necessary to coat evenly.
Let the cake sit for a bit so the glaze can set. Serve warm or at room temperature. And enjoy!
