Honey Bun Bundt Cake is a delicious doctored cake mix recipe. It’s like the packaged honey bun cakes you buy at the gas station, only in cake form.
Flavored with cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans with a sweet glaze, this easy cake is great as a dessert, snack, or even breakfast with a cup of coffee. It’s very similar to coffee cake and even has a cinnamon, nut layer in the middle.
Honey Bun Bundt Cake Recipe
This doctored cake mix recipe is very similar to this Honey Bun Cake which is one of the most popular recipes on Spicy Southern Kitchen. The main difference is it’s made in a 9×13-inch baking dish instead of a bundt pan.
A few extra ingredients turn a box of cake mix into a hard to resist cinnamon-flavored cake. So moist and delicious!
Start With A Box Of Yellow Cake Mix
The base for this easy cake recipe is a box of yellow cake mix. You can use Golden Butter Cake Mix as a substitute. I use either Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker Cake Mix. You’ll add vegetable oil, eggs and sour cream to the cake mix to form the batter.
Change Nuts or Leave Them Out
Instead of using pecans, you can use walnuts or you can leave the nuts out.
