This easy-to-make dessert combines sweet and tangy flavors with a marbled effect that makes it as beautiful as it tastes.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries

For the Icing:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup sour cream. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare strawberry cinnamon mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries until evenly combined.
  4. Layer batter and strawberry mixture: Pour half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the strawberry mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and strawberry mixture on top.
  5. Create marbled effect: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter and strawberry mixture together, creating a beautiful marbled pattern throughout the cake.
  6. Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
  7. Prepare the icing: While the cake bakes, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup heavy cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  8. Cool and ice the cake: Allow the cake to cool slightly after baking, then drizzle the strawberry cream icing evenly over the top.
  9. Serve: Slice, serve, and enjoy this flavorful strawberry honeybun cake warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • The marbling technique creates a striking appearance and ensures the strawberry cinnamon flavor is dispersed throughout the cake.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the vegetable oil with applesauce.
  • This cake keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for an enhanced flavor.
