Graham Streusel Coffee Cake

I had another holiday potluck to bake for, and it was the kind of thing that would be munched on throughout the day. I decided to make a coffee cake and found one that was a *bit* more involved than my last one, although since it has a cake mix base, it was rather simple. The streusel was delicious.

I didn't make the drizzle, but there were several comments on the allrecipes.com recipe about additions to give the drizzle more body and flavor.

The cake also stayed extremely moist during the day-long potluck.


1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Directions

1. Combine the first five ingredients; set aside.

2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions.

3. Pour half of the batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with half of the graham cracker mixture. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle with the remaining graham cracker mixture.

4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

5. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over cake.
