Cinnamon Coffee Cake

I found this recipe for coffee cake a few years ago, and it's become a staple in our house. It's not really made "from scratch," but does taste like it. I always have the ingredients on hand, so it's super easy to throw together. Hope you like it!

Ingredients:

1 (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix

1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix

1 (3.4oz) package instant butterscotch pudding mix

4 eggs

1 cup water

1 cup vegetable oil (I always use 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce to cut down on the oil)

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 cup chopped walnuts (pecans are yummy too)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease either a 9x13 inch baking pan, or a 10 inch bunt pan.

In a bowl stir together the cake mix and pudding mixes. Add the eggs, oil (or half oil and half applesauce) and water, and mix until blended. In another bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Pour half the batter into pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with half the nut mixture. Cover with the rest of the batter, and sprinkle with the rest of the nut mixture.

Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the oven down to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 35 to 40 minutes. Let sit for about 10 minutes after baking.

Enjoy!
