This recipe came about from a friend at our homeschool group, Summer. We were discussing quick and easy meals and she shared this dessert as a go- to dessert for special occasions. I finally got the ingredients and decided to make it this weekend. ummmm, yes I should have made it sooner:)
Remember honey buns as a child??? This tastes just like them, but more “real.” Try it, next time you need a dessert to take for something special.
I doubled the recipe that will be why you see “twice” as many ingredients.
In large mixing bowl combine:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2/3 cup coconut oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
Mix with an electric mixer for 3 minutes.
Take half the mixture and spread on bottom of 9 x13 greased cake pan.
In a small mixing bowl combine:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Mix with a fork and then sprinkle over top of the batter in the pan.
Drop the rest of the batter on top of pecan topping. Use a butter knife and spread it carefully to cover it completely.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until done. Take out of oven and mix in a small bowl the following:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 T milk
- 1 t vanilla
Poke with fork holes on top of warm cake. Spread frosting on and let cool completely.
Cover with plastic wrap and keep covered. This is delicious!!
