Equipment

  • 1 9x13 pan

Ingredients
  

Streusel

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¾ cup chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts, optional
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

Cake

  • 15.25 ounce dry yellow cake mix, Calli suggests Duncan Hines
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water

Icing (Calli usually doubles the icing)

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tbsp water or milk (I used apple cider)

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

Streusel

  • In a medium bowl or a food processor, mix streusel ingredients together. This will make a "crumble" texture.

Cake

  • In a large bowl, beat the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs and water on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the greased pan. Spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle half of the streusel crumbs over the batter. Repeat the process with the batter and top with the remaining streusel.
  • Bake at 350℉ for 40-45 minutes. Cool completely.

Icing (Calli usually doubles the icing)

  • Whip the powdered sugar and water (or apple cider) together to form icing. Drizzle over cooled coffee cake. Store in airtight container.

Notes

This recipe is from Calli Williams of TW Angus in South Dakota. Her Grandma Venita Pritchard in Illinois used to make it in a stoneware pan and keep it on the table for everyone to enjoy.
