@brighteyes847: STRAWBERRY HONEYBUN CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM ICING!-COOKING WITH BRIGHT EYES 🛒 Ingredients For the Cake: 1 box white or yellow cake mix 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin 4 large eggs ¾ cup vegetable oil 1 cup sour cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries For the Honeybun Swirl: ½ cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 3 tbsp melted butter For the Strawberry Cream Icing: 4 oz cream cheese, softened 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tbsp strawberry puree 1 tsp vanilla extract 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream, as needed 👩‍🍳 Instructions 1. Prepare the pan Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly. 2. Make the cake batter In a large bowl, combine cake mix, strawberry gelatin, eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. 3. Make the honeybun filling In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter until crumbly and well combined. 4. Layer the cake Pour about half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the top and gently spread it out. 5. Create the swirl Run a butter knife through the batter in a few gentle swirls. Don't overmix—the goal is to create beautiful pockets of cinnamon filling. 6. Bake Bake for 35–42 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let cool for about 15–20 minutes. 7. Make the strawberry cream icing Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in strawberry puree and vanilla. Add milk or heavy cream a little at a time until the icing reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. 8. Ice the cake Spread the strawberry cream icing over the slightly warm cake. Let it melt slightly into the top for that irresistible honeybun-style finish. 9. Serve Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. ⭐ Tips Use ripe, flavorful strawberries for the best taste. Pat fresh strawberries dry before folding them into the batter. Don't over-swirl the cinnamon filling. Let the cake cool slightly before adding the icing, but don't wait until it's completely cold if you want the icing to gently melt into the cake. For a stronger strawberry flavor, add a little strawberry extract to the icing. Refrigerate leftovers because of the cream cheese icing. Add chopped pecans to the cinnamon filling for a delicious crunch. For an extra pretty finish, top with sliced fresh strawberries just before serving.
