Lane’s Honeybun Cake
We have a VERY SPECIAL guest blogger today – my seven year old nephew, Lane! Let me tell ya, no one has ever been prouder to be on Southern Plate than him. I had no idea that he wanted to post until my sister said a few weeks ago “Lane thinks if he makes his Honey Bun Cake and takes pictures you’ll put him on Southern Plate.” My immediate response was “Well of course, I will!”
My mother helped him make this cake and she took all of the photos. She says:
Nothing thrills me more than knowing that kids read this site. I have several parents who list Southern Plate among one of the few websites they allow their children to go to and I want to let you all know that this is a great honor for me and one I do not take lightly. Southern Plate is and always will be a family friendly site and children will always be honored guests. The next generation keeps past generations alive. If you are a kid who reads Southern Plate, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
All of your kids are welcome on Southern Plate. If any of your children see this post and wants to be featured on the site, simply upload a photo of them to my Southern Plate Family page on Facebook and I’ll put them in a post as a “Featured Reader Of The Day”.

Spoon topping ingredients over this.
Take a butter knife and cut through the top a bit in a swirl pattern to combine it just a weeee bit.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until done.
Once done, it will look like this.

Christy, what a great auntie you are. My kids love to cook too and this sounds like a terrific cake to make with them. Thank you so much Lane for doing with demo for us. Keep up the good work.
Lane – I made this cake this weekend and it was GREAT!!! Such a handsome guy you are, and can cook too!! WOW! I just found this web site last week, and your cake is the first thing I made from here -Keep on cooking and we will see you on Food Network in a few years!!
I tried this cake for the first time when I made it for a charity bake sale. It was a big hit so now I’m doing it again in a large number and again for the same reason. I got raves about the cake and this time I intend to try a piece for myself. Even we diabetics like an occasion sweet:) It sure made the house smell wonderful while baking, too. Thanks for a real winner and such an easy recipe!
