How to Make Graham Streusel Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup chopped pecans, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix with your fingers or a pastry blender until crumbly.
  3. Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 1 cup water, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  6. Pour the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the coffee cake cool completely in the pan before glazing.
  10. Make the glaze: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons milk (or water) until smooth and pourable. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
