I followed the recipe exactly EXCEPT I did not add the glaze after reading some reviews on it being too sweet. I am glad I didn&#8217;t add the glaze, it was sweet enough on its own. I wanted a quick type of coffee cake version as well so that seemed to fit the bill. Also my family likes to put a pat of butter on coffee cake or any plain cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My overall rating is 3 out of 5 stars. I think it tasted better the second day. Of course, nothing is as good as a made from scratch coffee cake. Not sure if I would make again or not. It&#8217;s easy enough to make, but nothing too terribly exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe my taste buds are changing? Or my expectations are too high? I should have just made a traditional coffee cake instead of looking for shortcuts. Or maybe considered making cinnamon rolls if I was looking for a honeybun? You get what you pay for, or for what you put your effort into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try and see what you think of Honey Bun Cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HONEY BUN CAKE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mntl-structured-ingredients__heading_1-0\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1&nbsp;(18.25 ounce) package&nbsp;yellow cake mix<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00be&nbsp;cup&nbsp;vegetable oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4&nbsp;eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\u00a0(8 ounce) container\u00a0sour cream (1 cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;cup&nbsp;brown sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;tablespoon&nbsp;ground cinnamon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2&nbsp;cups&nbsp;confectioners&#8217; sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4&nbsp;tablespoons&nbsp;milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;tablespoon&nbsp;vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"84px\" height=\"24px\" src=\"https:\/\/crud-cdn.polaris.me\/assets\/images\/5d004314-30de-40ff-93f7-572127760db6\/300\" alt=\" Logo\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recipe__steps-heading_1-0\">Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and sour cream.
