I lost this recipe when we moved & am so glad to find it again. I made the cake this morning for my husband's office & here's what he said--"I had 2 pieces & others had several--it was very very good!" Here are the only adjustments I made: cut the white sugar to 1/4 cup cut the oil to 1/2 cup added 1/3 cup water; left out the raisins & nuts. Baking temp of 300 seemed to low to me so I upped it to 325 then to 340. I think the temp & time need adjustment. The icing was great--I added 1/4 t maple flavoring & 1 t vanilla. Thanks for a keeper Suzanne! Read More

This cake had a nice flavor and the convenience of a mix. We enjoyed it but I made it in a tube pan and there was WAY too much struesel filling. Maybe a sheet pan can hold all of that but it seemed like an awful lot! Read More

Great! Although I did omit the raisins & nuts. I did use 8 oz. of sour cream & you may want to reduce the brown sugar a bit. It is for the sweet tooth but it is Wonderful! Read More

This cake is even better than the original honey bun cake and that is saying a lot because the original is to die for. Read More

I added 2 tablespoons of bourbon(wild Turkey 101 to the frosting to change the flavor on some of them. you can add Rum or your favorite extract. also taste good with almonds or pecans. Read More

This really tastes like something from a bakery! You can't ask for an easier recipe either. I made this for Easter brunch and it went first and fast. Extremely moist too! Read More
