Honey bun cake tastes like a cross between a cinnamon swirl cake and a poke cake! To make it, a moist yellow cake is swirled with cinnamon-sugar, then poked all over before being drizzled with a powdered sugar icing. <\/em><\/p>\n

This homemade honey bun cake is rich, moist, and sweet. It’s reminiscent of the plastic-wrapped sweets you grew up eating from the grocery store, but so much better! <\/p>\n

The cake itself is a flavorful homemade yellow cake. An entire tablespoon of vanilla flavors the batter, and a combination of buttermilk and sour cream adds a lovely tanginess to the cake. <\/p>\n

Once the cinnamon-swirled cake is done baking, it’s immediately pricked all over with a fork and drizzled with a powdered sugar icing. The icing seeps into the cake, adding flavor and ensuring the cake remains moist for days!<\/p>\n

This is a great “anytime” cake to keep on hand. It keeps well at room temperature and can be enjoyed for breakfast, a decadent weeknight dessert, or as a special occasion treat. <\/p>\n
