Easy Cake Mix Coffee Cake (Also Known As Breakfast Cake)

This is a quick and easy way to turn a regular cake mix into something special. We serve this with eggs and bacon on a Sunday morning!

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 8-10
• Yields: 1 cake

Ingredients

• Cake

• 1 (18 ounce) package  yellow cake mix (can use orange or lemon)
• 1 (3 1/2ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
• 3⁄4 cup  oil
• 3⁄4 cup water
• 4  eggs
• 1  teaspoon  butter flavoring
• 1  teaspoon vanilla

• Filling

• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 cup  nuts (optional)
• 2  teaspoons cinnamon

• Glaze

• 1  cup powdered sugar
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1  teaspoon  butter flavoring
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. Beat together first four ingredients. Then add eggs one at a time - ( but beat less than two minutes).
2. Pour 1/2 batter in a 9x13 pan or Bundt pan and pour 3/4 of the filling on top. Pour remaining batter over filling. Sprinkle remaining filling on top (not too much though as the sugar can burn).
3. Bake at 350°F for 55 minutes (usually not this long).
4. Glaze-----Heat glaze ingredients until near boiling and glaze while cake is still warm from oven.
5. NOTES---I have found that the glaze is hit or miss, some people like it some do not. I have started experimenting with different glazes and have found that a thicker glaze works better for my taste -- DH says it doesn't even need a glaze the cake is so good!
