Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and milk. Mix until smooth and well incorporated, about 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel by combining the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle half of the graham streusel mixture evenly over the batter layer.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer and spread it evenly. Then, sprinkle the remaining streusel on top, covering the surface generously.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once fully baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-worthy.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top in a decorative pattern or evenly across the surface.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Graham Streusel Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
