These gin cocktails are given a piney flavor and a little bite by rosemary and ginger.

Excellent & Tasty I made 1 slight change and used a Spice Cake Mix. Enjoy!
This was SOOOOOO sweet. I couldn’t even eat it. I was shocked to see how many people loved it based on how sweet it turned out. It should be 1/4 cup of what the sugar calls for.
love it
Not the prettiest cake but who cares? It’s the most delicious! I waited until the cake cooled off to add the icing. Just a preference for presentation.
My family love this cake it’s became a holiday favorite
Out of this world delicious. It tastes exactly like a honey bun, but believe it or not EVEN BETTER.
Love this recipe! It’s my go to for the holidays and birthdays
This is the best recipe I have ever used. I’ve made the last 5 with it and everyone loves it. The only thing I changed was I doubled the icing ingredients
This is one of my favorite cakes I love it! I love honey buns and to find a cake recipe for it was even better
It’s a great cake recipe. For my first try, I decided to make some changes to the recipe and omg… The cake was gone in minutes. First, I used the butter recipe yellow cake mix. Then instead of oil, I used a room temperature stick of unsalted butter. I also, added a pack of vanilla pudding to the batter. Also, instead of wate r I used milk. Next, for the glaze I added cinnamon to it Lastly, I sprinkled a sugar & cinnamon dust on top. It seems like a lot of changes but baby…. it’s delicious
Loved it.Didnot change nothing.Matter of fact,I have made one for several other people and they really enjoyed it.Will be making again soon.
Best recipe I’ve ever used. I go to this recipe every time I make my hunny bunn cakes. So easy to make and my family loves it
Yummy looking, yummy tasting and a hit with family. Taste right like a honeybun, which is my favorite sweet treat.
I tried this recipe for the first time. Everyone loved it! It was a hit during Christmas dinner. My daughter said it was the best cake I ever made! I didn’t change any ingredients and followed the recipe to the letter.
I’ve made this so many times! By far the most requested dessert that I bring to gatherings. Currently have 1 in the oven for early Christmas dinner tonight
great cake!
No changes. Worked perfectly. Magically delicious.
It tasted great, but was too dense for my husband to appreciate
This cake was good but too sweet. I think 1 cup of brown sugar is too much. The cake mix itself is already sweet. I would probably use 1/4 cup of brown sugar next time if that. The flavor profile was great but the sweetness was overpowering and off putting.
Fantastic recipe. So very good,
I’ve been making this cake for years. My family loves it!
