3️⃣ Prepare the Filling – In a separate bowl, mix honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

4️⃣ Layer the Cake – Pour half the batter into the prepared dish. Drizzle the filling mixture evenly on top, then use a knife to swirl it in. Pour the remaining batter over the top.

7️⃣ Glaze & Serve – Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake, slice, and enjoy.

five tips to make your Strawberry Honeybun Cake even better:

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients – Let your eggs, buttermilk, and honey sit at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter – Mix until combined to keep the cake soft and fluffy. Overmixing can make it dense.
• Swirl, Don’t Mix – When adding the filling, gently swirl it with a knife instead of mixing it in to create that signature honeybun effect.
• Let the Cake Cool Completely – If the cake is warm, the icing will melt too much. Let it cool before drizzling for the perfect consistency.
• Adjust the Icing Consistency – If the icing is too thick, add a little more cream. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar until it’s just right.

This Strawberry Honeybun Cake is soft, sweet, and full of flavor! 🍓✨ With its cinnamon-honey swirl and creamy strawberry icing, it’s a treat worth trying. Enjoy
