Cake Mix Coffee Cake
Description
This recipe starts with a yellow cake mix combined with wet ingredients including water, buttermilk, cooking oil, eggs, and instant vanilla pudding mix, which contributes to a moist, rich crumb. The addition of sour cream adds tang and creaminess to the batter. This mix is beaten thoroughly and poured into a greased baking dish.
A streusel topping made of brown and granulated sugars, flour, cinnamon, salt, butter, and chopped walnuts is prepared separately. Half the topping is sprinkled over the batter and swirled through with a knife, creating pockets of cinnamon and nutty sweetness within the cake. The rest of the streusel is spread over the top to bake into a crunchy topping.
Baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean ensures the cake is cooked through. The result is a coffee cake with a tender, moist crumb balanced by a crisp cinnamon and walnut topping, ideal for morning coffee or an afternoon snack.
