Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 box of super moist yellow cake mix, 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup of oil, 2 teaspoons of butter extract, and 1 cup of sour cream. Mix until well combined.

In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to create the honey bun filling.

Prepare a baking dish by spraying it with Baker's Joy.

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the honey bun filling mixture over the first layer of cake batter.

Pour the remaining cake batter on top of the filling mixture.

Using a knife, make swirls in the cake batter to combine the layers slightly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

After baking, let the cake cool for a few minutes before preparing the icing.

In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of butter extract. Mix until smooth to create the icing.

Drizzle the icing over the cooled honey bun cake.
