How to Make Caramel Nut Breakfast Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) dry cake mix (any flavor, but yellow or vanilla work well), 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup water, and 3 large eggs.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of the reserved dry cake mix, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  5. Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture is crumbly.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Using a knife, gently swirl the topping and batter together to create a marble effect.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk or water, and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup until smooth. Add more milk/water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before drizzling with the glaze.
