3. In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding mix, cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract.
4. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
5. Sprinkle half of the chopped nuts (1/2 cup) on the bottom of the prepared pan.
6. Spread half of the batter over the nuts.
7. Sprinkle evenly with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
8. Add the remaining batter on top.
9. Sprinkle the remaining nuts and cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. 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.
12. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm coffee cake.
