Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Using a knife or spoon, swirl the batter in the pan to create a marbled effect, mimicking the signature honeybun style.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
For the strawberry cream icing: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter, and strawberry puree (or strawberry jam). Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a little milk if needed.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the icing evenly on top of the cake.

Notes

Add fresh strawberries on top for extra texture and flavor.
For a tangy contrast, try using cream cheese frosting instead of the strawberry icing.
You can also experiment with different cake mixes, like vanilla or lemon, for a unique twist on the recipe.
Leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
To reheat, microwave individual slices for 20-30 seconds or warm the whole cake in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
