A friend of mine sent me this recipe, and she makes them. She's never baked them in the microwave. I doubt if I would either because I wouldn't bake just one, but it might be worth a try.

Thanks, Shirley--seems easier than baking it and definitely faster! I won't stop thinking about this cake until I make it. The picture on Pinterest was to die for! Almost like a sour cream coffee cake. HONEY BUN CAKE (Serve at Once) For the Cake: 1 box yellow cake mix 4 eggs 1 cup sour cream 3/4 cup vegetable oil For the Swirl: 1 cup light brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon, or to taste For the Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar 6 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. By hand, blend the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and oil until well-incorporated. The mixture will be pale yellow--it's ok if it has some lumps! Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well-blended, and set aside. Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 13x9 pan, spreading the batter out into a thin layer. Add half of the swirl mixture to the cake, making sure to sprinkle it on the entire layer. Pour the rest of the batter on top, and spread the batter until the cake is even. Top the cake off with the rest of the swirl mixture. With a knife, swirl the batter until you create a beautiful masterpiece. Place the cake into the oven, and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. While the cake is baking, make the glaze. In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until the glaze is desired consistency. When the cake comes out of the oven, pour glaze onto the entire, hot cake. Let the cake sit for a few minutes so the glaze can set. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 12-15
