Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix together the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and sour cream until well combined.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Drizzle the honey over the brown sugar and cinnamon layer.
Gently pour the remaining batter over the top, spreading it to cover the brown sugar and honey layer.
Use a knife to swirl the batter slightly, creating a marbled effect with the layers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Variations & Tips
For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. If you prefer a less sweet version, use a lighter hand with the honey drizzle. Additionally, you can experiment with flavored extracts in the glaze, such as almond or maple, to create a different take on this classic treat.
