Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Honeybun Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, softened cream cheese, room-temperature eggs, and vegetable oil. Blend on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together, then sprinkle over the first layer of cake batter.
  5. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, covering it completely.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then prepare your icing by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
  8. Pour the icing over the warm cake, letting it seep into every nook.
