A delicious coffee cake made using yellow cake mix, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

1 box Yellow Cake Mix

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup chopped pecans or nut of your choice

3 large eggs, room temperature

1 ½ cups room temperature sour cream or plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9″x13″ inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Remove ⅔ cup of cake mix straight from the box and combine with melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped nuts; set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine remaining cake mix with the room temperature eggs and sour cream, mixing with a wooden spoon until batter is smooth.
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Top with half of the crumb mixture. Repeat layers.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking for doneness after 30-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Every oven bakes at different speeds, so be sure to check for doneness around 30 minutes.
  • To make in a Bundt pan: Make 2 layers of crumb in the center of the cake instead of one on top. Bake time may be shorter – check after 30 minutes.
  • To make muffins: Grease or line a 12-cup muffin pan and create layers in each muffin cup. Bake at 425°F for 8 minutes, then reduce to 350°F for 15 minutes.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, covered tightly. Freeze for up to 3 months.
