Cinnamon Dessert for Fall

WARNING: This cake has never survived overnight in my house.

If you’re looking for an easy fall baking recipe that makes your kitchen smell incredible, this Honey Bun Coffee Cake is it.

Honey. Cinnamon. Brown sugar. A soft, tender cake with a sweet glaze poured over the top while it’s still warm.

Basically? Fall in a 9×13 pan.

And yes, this is the kind of cake that causes arguments over who gets the last piece. 😅

The best part? No complicated baking techniques required.

Tips for the perfect honey bun cake:

  • Use full-fat sour cream for the moistest texture.
  • Don’t skip pressing the honey-cinnamon topping into the batter. It creates those delicious swirls throughout the cake.
  • Pour the glaze over the cake while it’s warm so it melts into every corner.
  • Let it cool just enough to slice… if your family will wait that long.
    This cake is also perfect for Jewish holidays, brunch, Rosh Hashanah, or any fall gathering where you want something homemade without spending all day in the kitchen.

The Recipe

Cake:

  • 1 plain yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
    Mix together and pour into a sprayed 9×13-inch baking pan.

Topping:

  • Drizzle ⅓ cup honey over the batter.
  • Mix ⅓ cup brown sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the honey.
  • Use a knife to gently press the topping into the batter.
    Bake at 350°F for 38–40 minutes, until the cake springs back when pressed.

Glaze:
Mix together:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    Pour over the warm cake.
    And about long-term storage?
    I have no idea.

This cake has never lasted more than one day in my house. 😂

Would this Honey Bun Coffee Cake survive overnight at your house, or would it disappear before breakfast?
