How to Make Aunt Fran's Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding mix, cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Sprinkle half of the chopped nuts (1/2 cup) on the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Spread half of the batter over the nuts.
- Sprinkle evenly with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Add the remaining batter on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining nuts and cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm coffee cake.
