Why You’ll Love This Cake Mix Coffee Cake

If you’re looking for a fuss-free yet indulgent coffee cake, this is it. Made with yellow cake mix, rich sour cream, and a cinnamon-sugar swirl, this moist and tender cake is ideal for lazy weekends, potlucks, and cozy mornings.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 box yellow cake mix

• 1 cup sour cream

• 4 large eggs

• ½ cup vegetable oil

For the Cinnamon Streusel:

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

For the Vanilla Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 tablespoons milk

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare Pan
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

2. Mix the Cake Batter
   In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, sour cream, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and creamy using a whisk or hand mixer.

3. Make the Cinnamon Streusel
   In a separate medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using).

4. Assemble the Cake
   Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and streusel.

5. Bake the Cake
   Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool the Cake
   Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before glazing.

7. Prepare and Add the Glaze
   In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Add a little more milk if the glaze is too thick.
   Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm cake, allowing it to seep into the streusel layer.

Serving Suggestions

• Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

• Serve warm for ultimate coziness.

• Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Optional Variations

• Add a layer of sliced apples or blueberries between the batter and streusel.

• Replace pecans with walnuts or leave them out entirely for a nut-free version.

• Add a touch of nutmeg or cardamom to the streusel for an aromatic twist.
