Tips For Making Honey Bun Cake

Do not add the ingredients on the box of cake mix or follow the directions on the box. You are just going to use the dry cake mix to add to this recipe.

No mixer needed. Just a large bowl and a whisk. Got to love that.

Be sure not to overcook the cake. Use the toothpick test. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
