Peel and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.

Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with honey, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined.

Stir in the cake mix, sour cream, and vanilla extract until just blended.

In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans for the topping.

Grease a baking dish and pour half of the cake batter into it.

Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.

Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the topping mixture.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled cake.
