Strawberry Honeybun Cake with Strawberry Cream Icing
Ingredients:
1 box strawberry cake mix
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Cream Icing:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons strawberry puree (fresh or frozen, blended smooth)
2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over it.
Pour the remaining batter over the top and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, make the icing: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
Once the cake is done, let it cool slightly before drizzling the icing over the warm cake.
Slice and enjoy!
