Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Mix well using an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the layer of batter.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it out carefully to cover.
Using a butter knife, swirl through the batter lightly in a figure-eight motion to create a marbled effect with the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in for a moist and flavorful finish.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious honey bun cake!
