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”.

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!
[...] is smiling up on the left here. He is still reveling in the glory of guest blogging Honeybun Cake on Southern Plate a while [...]
I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!! You make me smile, and you have FABULOUS recipes! OMGoodness! I made the Crock Pot Apple Butter yesterday and when my sis and her hubby arrived they could not believe how great the house smelled. Suffice it to say that the apple butter was a huge hit with the corn meal muffins I had made and they went home with a nice large jar of it…and as soon as I have had my coffee I am stirring some of it into my morning oatmeal!! YUM! Thanks for all you do!! Debbe in Ontario, Canada
Hi Lane,
I am SUPER IMPRESSED with your baking skills! I have a little grandson being born in February and I am going to teach him to bake too! I am going to make your cake on Wednesday morning, bright and early, to take to my knitting group. That way it will be warm and lovely to share…and THANK YOU for sharing this….
Hugs from Debbe in Coldwater, Ontario, Canada

Christy, can you put the Save this Recipe button on here please? I would love to save this in my recipe file. Thanks!
I just did. Ruth, thank you so much for letting me know!!!! And in such a sweet way!! ~hugs~
Hey, got a question. I am not a big honey fan. Can I use something else? I know it won’t be a honeybun cake then would it? Ugh!
In honors of Lane, I am going to make this on Sunday for the family and next week for the coworkers.
Christy, for the glaze, can milk or water be used? I see in the photos you used water, but in the ingredients in the recipe it says to use 1/3 C milk. I was curious, as well, if milk is required, then should the cake be refrigerated?
Can’t wait to try this. It sure looks delicious, Lane!
Thank you!
He looked so proud. I make this sometimes in mini muffin pans (so they are bite size).
My recipe did not have the honey so I will have to try that.
Thanks for the great recipes:)
