  3. In another bowl, whisk the light brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, canned pumpkin, sour cream, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While the cornbread cools, whip the salted butter, then mix in honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until fluffy.
