Honey Bun Cake

This cake is AH-MAZING!!! Oh my goodness, you have got to try this cake. It is super moist and just overall delicious! Plus, it is lower in fat than normal because it uses egg whites and applesauce instead of regular eggs & oil. I found this when searching for a dessert on allrecipes.com to bring to my grandmother's 75th birthday party. My mom had ordered sheet cakes, but was worried we wouldn't have enough, so I offered to make something just in case. We ended up having plenty of cake, but we all ate this with dinner after the party. This is great to serve for breakfast or brunch, as well as dessert. I just love how it came out, so elegant and pretty. Also, this cake is even better the second or third day. It seems to get more moist the longer it sits.
