Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake Recipe
Description
The Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake combines a prepared yellow cake mix with a topping made from graham cracker crumbs mixed with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and walnuts or pecans for crunch. The topping is combined with melted butter to create a streusel that is sprinkled alternately with cake batter in a baking pan, forming a layered texture after baking. The cake is baked until a toothpick comes out clean, ensuring a tender crumb inside while the cinnamon streusel crisps on the surface.
After baking, a simple glaze of confectioners' sugar and milk is drizzled over the cake, adding a subtle sweetness and a slight sheen. If graham crackers are unavailable, digestive biscuits serve as a suitable replacement for the streusel component.
This coffee cake is appropriate for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack alongside coffee or tea. The cinnamon and nut flavors make it a comforting choice for cooler weather or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup butter melted
- 1 package yellow cake mix regular size
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Stir in butter; set aside.
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
- Pour half of the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with half of the graham cracker mixture. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle with the remaining graham cracker mixture.
- Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
- Digestive biscuits can be used as an alternative to graham crackers for the streusel topping.
- Ensure the topping mixture is evenly spread between the layers for consistent texture.
