Ingredients
  

Honeybun Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Cookies 'n' Cream Icing:

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup milk adjust for desired consistency
  • 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Topping:

  • Additional crushed Oreos for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth, then gently fold in the crushed Oreos.

Add the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pans, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture through the batter to create a marbled effect.

Bake:

  • Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

Make the Cinnamon Cookies 'n' Cream Icing:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, mixing well.
  • Add milk as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency, then fold in the crushed Oreos.

Assemble the Cake:

  • Spread a layer of icing on top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and cover the entire cake with the remaining icing.
  • Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top for garnish.
  • Serve: Slice and enjoy the rich combination of honeybun flavor with the creamy goodness of cinnamon and cookies 'n' cream icing!

Notes

  • Cool Completely Before Frosting: Make sure the cake layers are fully cooled before adding icing to prevent it from melting.
  • Swirling Tips: Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter. Overmixing can prevent the swirl effect.
  • Adjust Icing Consistency: Add milk gradually to control the thickness of the frosting, stopping once it’s spreadable.
