How to Make Moist Yummy Cinnamon Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan (or prepare a bundt pan).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 cup sour cream, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 4 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  6. Layer the remaining batter on top, followed by the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. For even distribution, gently swirl a butter knife through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving.
