Sweet Potato Honeybun Cake 🍰

Sweet Potato Honeybun Cake

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup brown sugar (for the swirl)

For the Cream Cheese Icing:

8 oz cream cheese (softened)

1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3 tablespoons milk (to reach desired consistency)

Directions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

Make the Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and an additional sprinkle of cinnamon together.

Layer the Batter: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter on top and spread it evenly.

Swirl: Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect.

Bake the Cake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Make the Cream Cheese Icing: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until smooth and spreadable.

Frost the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese icing evenly over the top.
