- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp Biscoff cookie butter (or peanut butter)

Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or loaf cake pan. In one bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the crushed Oreo chunks.
Step 2: Add the Cinnamon Swirl. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Pour half of the cake batter into the pan, then drizzle the cinnamon swirl over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and smooth the surface. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
Step 3: Bake the Cake. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
Step 4: Make the Cinnamon Cookies & Cream Icing. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, cookie butter, cinnamon, crushed Oreos, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. The icing should be thick but pourable. Adjust with more milk if necessary.
Step 5: Assemble & Serve. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake and sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos and cinnamon sugar for a beautiful finish. Let it set for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Storage & Tips: Store the cake at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to enjoy a gooey texture. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence!

Tips to Make Oreo Honeybun Cake
- Make sure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing to avoid cooking the eggs.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Don’t overmix the batter; stop as soon as the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- To get a marbled effect, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter without mixing it completely.
