honeybun cake

Yesterday I was studying and I thought to myself "Oh my gracious I am not ready for this test and it is on Wednesday!" then I realized...duh...my test isn't until NEXT Wednesday. That is a true sign that you have been studying too much so today I gave myself a break. I skipped all of my classes (partly because I overslept), me and Josh went to lunch, I made a honeybun cake for my PPE party tomorrow, I made rice krispies treats for my roomies, and watched all of my shows. It was awesome and so necessary. Sometimes you just need a break even though you probably should study every minute you can. I have been studying pretty much every day for the past week or so. I just couldn't look at another drug, structure, or disease state today. I deserved it.

Here is the recipe for Honeybun cake (it is so so yummy)

1 box yellow cake mix
2/3 cup oil
4 eggs
8oz sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan. In a large bowl, combine dry cake mix, oil, eggs, and sour cream with a mixer. Spread 1/2 the batter in the pan. In another small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter in the pan. Carefully spread the last 1/2 of the batter into the pan. Bake 44-48 minutes or until deep golden brown. In another small bowl, stir milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thin enough to spread. Prick the surface of the hot cake with a toothpick and spread the mixture on top.

Happy baking :)
