Cinnamon Bun Cake

[sweetvanity]

So DH is going to a BBQ tonight with his doctor buddies and even though I didn't feel like going/had other stuff I wanted to accomplish (like sit on MSOS alllllllllll night and catch up with my girls), I wanted to send him along with something yummy so used the following recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Cinnamon-Bun-Cake-116102, modified it (my modifications are in color below) and baked it... freaking awesome!

Ingredients
BROWN SUGAR LAYERS
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup of raisins
1/4 chopped mixed nuts
1/4 old fashioned oatmeal

CAKE
1 (18 ounce) box package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 cup sour cream

BROWN SUGAR SWIRLS
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup cake batter

FROSTING
1 (12 ounce) can cream cheese frosting

Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease WELL 1 bundt cake pan.
2) Combine all the ingredients for the cake and mix on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 2 minutes. Pour one cup batter into separate bowl for cinnamon swirl layer and pour half of the remaining batter into the pan.
3) Pour cinnamon swirl layer into the pan and then spread and "swirl" evenly.
4) For Brown Sugar Layer combine ingredients and crumble on top of cinnamon swirl layer, trying to keep an "edge" of batter around the center tube and outside edge.
5) Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans
6) When cake is still slightly warm, take cream cheese iciing and dollop or place into pastry bag and drizzle over top of cake (like you would with cinnamon buns)
