Ingredients

For the batter:
  • 3 cups all-purpose baking mix JIFFY brand
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter unsalted, cold, 8 tablespoons
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the topping:
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup all-purpose baking mix JIFFY brand
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup pecans optional; you can substitute raisins, chopped
  • ½ cup butter 8 tablespoons, softened and cut into small pieces, unsalted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan. You can also use a nonstick spray for baking. Set aside.
Make the cake batter:
  1. In a large bowl, combine the baking mix and sugar. Using  a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse meal. 
  2. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Mixture will resemble a thin, lumpy pancake batter in consistency. Set batter aside to rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping. 
Make the streusel:
  1. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, baking mix, cinnamon and nuts. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the brown sugar mixture until well combined and the mixture clumps together. 
  2. After the batter has rested for about 10 minutes, give the batter a final whisk and pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, reserving the rest of the batter.
  3. Sprinkle half of the streusel over the batter in the pan. Top with the remaining cake batter, then sprinkle with the remaining streusel mixture.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 20-30 minutes before removing from the pan.

Notes

  • I have easily found the "JIFFY" all-purpose mix next to the other all-purpose baking mixes at my local grocery store. If you cannot find it, you can try substituting my homemade Bisquick.
