This cake was a big hit with my family for Father's Day. I did add 1 tsp. of vanilla to the cake batter. The only problem I had was that my streusel sunk to the bottom of the cake. There was none on top. But it was still delicious just the same, and very easy to make. Thank you for the recipe! This one is a keeper!

Easy coffee cake to make. The only change that I would make would be adding extra cinnamon. But, I do like extra cinnamon so it may not be for everyone's liking. Besides that the coffee cake was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

This sounds wonderful, however, as of 2017 there are no longer cake mixes in 18 ounces size, There is one exception. If you use two Jiffy cake mixes they will equal 18 ozs. Pillsbury needs to revise their wonderful recipes to fit the current times!

I make this for my husband, who has Celiac, with a gluten-free yellow cake mix, and gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. I also bake it in a bundt pan for a more beautiful presentation. So delicious!

I made this b4 reading the reviews. I used yellow cake mix calling for oil. The nut mixture did sink so next time I will try cooking without the nut top layer.for 20 min and then add the top layer of nuts in the final 20 min of cooking. I also used two tsp of cinnamon. And walnuts i/o pecans.

I am a normally scratch baker, but this recipe is delicious and really easy to prepare. My daughter told me about it, and I made it and loved it.

This was really yummy! It was relatively easy to make, and I loved the graham cracker filling/topping. It's a great addition to a breakfast or brunch or at coffee or dessert time.

I omitted the nuts and icing and took this to a baby shower. It was good, but not outstanding (it was plenty sweet, so I do not think we would have enjoyed it more with the icing). However, it was done in 30 min! I am glad I checked the cake box. 40 minutes seemed too long.

If you bake this the night before you serve it, will it still be tasty & moist?

Good, quick, easy cake. My cake baked for less than 40 minutes though. And I would agree with the other reviews in decreasing the butter to 1/2 cup.
