04 - 1/2 cup milk.
05 - 4 large eggs.
06 - 1 tsp cinnamon.
07 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).

10 - 1 cup powdered sugar.
11 - 2 tbsp milk.

Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

03 - In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
04 - Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it gently to cover the cinnamon-sugar layer.
05 - Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
07 - Pour the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
08 - Garnish with extra chopped pecans if desired. Slice and enjoy your moist, flavorful Carrot Cake Honey Bun!.

Notes:

01 - This carrot cake honey bun is a fusion of moist carrot cake and a sweet, cinnamon-swirled honey bun.
02 - Optional pecans or walnuts add crunch and a nutty flavor.
