Honey Bun Cake
1 (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Icing (recipe follows)
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
So there ya have it. That's what my house smells like right this very second. The cake combined with the fresh pine hanging in the doorway, and I have to admit...it smells like Christmas.
I know I have said it before, but for some reason I want to say it again. (It's always on my mind.) There are several families in our little town who are fighting very courageous battles with cancer. Never before have we personally known so many people touched by this evil disease. It's evil in what it does to a body.....but so many blessings have come to and from these amazing people. I'm very thankful and proud to know of each one of them. I'm also so very thankful that my children and family are healthy and happy during this Christmas season. Wow....all that AND honey bun cake! Have a great day....and keep warm! xoxox
