Strawberry Honeybun Cake
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: drizzle of honey
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan
2. Make the Cake Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla.
- Fold in sour cream.
- Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
3. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl
- Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
4. Assemble Cake
- Pour half the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle half the cinnamon swirl over the batter.
- Pour remaining batter on top.
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon swirl.
- Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.
5. Bake
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
6. Add Glaze
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle over warm cake.
- Optional: add a thin drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Fresh strawberries: Keep them small and gently fold to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
- Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Extra flavor: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a bright note.
💡 Pro tip: Serve slightly warm with a cup of coffee or tea—the glaze soaks into the cake beautifully, giving that classic honeybun vibe.
