Isn't that just the cutest name ever for a recipe?  I found this over on All Recipes (I love that site!), and I knew it had to be pretty good when one of the reviewers shared that “it was all the rage in 1972”.  I figure any recipe that's been around a little longer than me has gotta be good!  And if you're heading to visit family this weekend (or the family is coming to you!), this would be a great treat to enjoy over the weekend.  (And your kitchen will smell heavenly!!!)

It reminded me a lot of my absolute favorite Honey Bun Cake, however it's a little less super-sugary-might-throw-you-in-to-a-diabetic-coma tasting (did I mention that's my absolute favorite one?  But this one would be my husband's pick!)  If you like a true coffee cake this one's for you, but the Honey Bun Cake has almost the same ingredients and might also be a great treat this weekend!  Here's what you'll need . . .

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package butter cake mix 
• 1 cup sour cream 
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup chopped pecans 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar 
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 375.  Grease and flour bundt pan.  In mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, sour cream, oil, 1/4 cup white sugar, water and eggs.  Beat on high for two minutes and pour 2/3 batter into pan.

In another bowl combine pecans (optional), brown sugar, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over batter in pan.  Then add remaining batter.  Bake at 375 for 45-55 minutes (I'd lean towards 45, maybe even a little shorter if your oven cooks at all hot like mine does).  Cool for 15-25 minutes and then turn over onto plate.  (Unless you're like me and always in a hurry.  Then just go ahead and turn it over onto cute plate!)

Mix together confectioner's sugar and milk until smooth.  Drizzle over cake.  Serve and enjoy!
