This is a simple coffee cake that can be baked in a 9x13 baking dish or Bundt pan. It has a sweet cinnamon layer and vanilla glaze similar to Swedish honey buns, hence the name.
1 box (18.25 ounce size) yellow cake mix
8 ounces sour cream
4 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
Filling
1 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
Glaze
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons water (more if needed)
Combine cake mix, sour cream, eggs and oil. Blend thoroughly. Pour half of the batter into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan that has been coated with Pam. (If you desire, you can use a Bundt cake pan.)
Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts. Sprinkle this over the cake batter in the pan. Then pour the rest of the cake batter over the brown sugar mixture. Bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes. (Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer if you use a Bundt pan.)
Mix confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and water to make the glaze. Make sure you stir the glaze until all the lumps are gone. Drizzle over the cake while it is still warm.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
