Honey Bun Cake - 1st Umc
"Brunch cake or coffee cake - semi-homemade and tastes like a cinnamon roll - this cake was found in "Feeding the Flock" - 1st United Methodist Church, Ponca City. Maybe it's the cake mix that makes this recipe easy to adapt: I had no sour cream and only 3/4 cup of margarine... so I used fat free mayonnaise in the same quantity as the s/cream ... also thought the mayo has oil which could take the place of some of the margarine ... but I "hit it" with one more splash of vegetable oil ... maybe a couple of tblspoons ... it was moist and delicious but far from low cal, I'm sure. I added 20 minutes to preparation time to allow for cooling of the cake after icing. (This recipe is typical of why my husband calls me MacGuyver)."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a creative cook - MacGuyver of the Kitchen, so my husband says - I like to open both the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook and the Martha Stewart Cookbook (Betty & Martha) on the cabinet, and, looking at both of those, create the Noni version of a recipe. The trouble with that is that I don't write it down and so, very often, it can't be duplicated.
