Honey bun cake is one of the yummiest~and easiest~cakes you’ll ever make. Tastes like a giant honey bun or cinnamon roll!

This recipe has been around forever, but I made it for the first time this week. I left it on the counter, cut into squares, for my family to eat as they came and went. Every single one of them commented on this cake. My husband said it was the best thing he’d ever eaten (although he says this about a lot of things:-) and that it was “sinful!” It certainly is not for the calorie conscious!

I made this in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish lined with parchment. Parchment makes it easy to lift baked goods from the pan before glazing, and cutting into perfect squares is much easier.

This would be wonderful to take to a brunch instead of coffee cake. It is much easier to cut into pretty squares after the glaze is completely hardened~after at least an hour.

Let me hear from you if you try this! Thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!
