Description

This recipe came from my great aunt and is the most wonderful coffee cake I have ever made. This cake is super moist with a crunchy, cinnamon, nutty topping and filling that your friends and family will ask for again and again.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 box (18 Oz. Size) Yellow Cake Mix - Get The Kind With Pudding In The Mix
  • 1-⅓ cup Canola Or Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3  Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • ¾ cups Walnuts Or Pecans, Finely Chopped
  • ½ cups Butter, Unsalted And Melted
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1-¼ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Water
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In the large bowl of your stand mixer, combine cake mix, oil, water, eggs and vanilla on medium speed for 3 minutes. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine the ingredients for the filling until well mixed. Set aside.

Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and pour half of the cake batter into the dish. Sprinkle half of the filling on top of the cake mixture. Spoon the rest of the cake batter over the filling and carefully spread it out. Sprinkle the remaining filling on top of the cake.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until set in the very center. Cool completely.

Mix the glaze ingredients and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the cake and enjoy.

Serves 12.

* This recipe has been revised for a 9 x 13 pan. Do not try to use a bundt pan.

Note: If you don’t like a ton of crumble filling and topping you can modify the filling/topping amounts as follows: 1-1/2 cup Graham cracker crumbs; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans; 1/3 cup butter, melted; and 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.

I made this yesterday… I cut the oil to 3/4 cup and it was still plenty moist.. I loved the huge amount of topping, it turned out perfect and sliced and served neatly.

I was so excited to find this recipe since I had everything on hand to make it. It is a good recipe but seems to be missing something. Maybe more cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar? The graham filling make way too much. I’d make 1/2 what the recipe says. Next time I’d just cover the batter because the cake seemed to fall apart when I cut and served it. The icing didn’t stick because the topping was falling off. A solution would be to gently press the topping into the batter. With there being so much there just was no way to keep it from coming off. Our guests enjoyed it but I’m make some changes for next time.
