Not clear as to meaning even with the correction, so neither is really a good choice or "correct". I suspect you mean that you misspoke. said words that weren't what you thought you were saying or intended to say, for some reason, sometimes as simple as a mild confusion at the moment of speaking. I misspoke when I said that.
I misspoke means that whatever I said at that time was not correct, for some reason other than "on purpose". Hard to claim having spoken wrong, said the wrong thing by mistake or from a brain cramp or some other excuse, when you did it on purpose.

It would be "I mistakenly said what I said" not "how I said" but you can just say "I was mistaken" which is what most people would say.
