Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake Batter

  • 1 Yellow Cake Mix, reserve 2 tbsp for streusel
  • 1 8 oz sour cream
  • 1/3 cup oil (or 5 1/3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Streusel

  • 2 tbsp dry cake mix (reserved)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp good quality cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Glaze

  • 1 1/2–4 tbsp milk (for thicker glaze, start with 1 1/2 tbsp and add more as needed)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp nuts, roughly chopped (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and liberally spray your Bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix (minus 2 tbsp reserved for streusel), sour cream, oil (or melted butter), sugar, eggs, vanilla, and water and mix together with an electric hand mixer for 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour batter: Pour 2/3 of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan.
  4. Prepare streusel: In a small mixing bowl prepare your streusel by combining 2 tbsp dry cake mix, chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined. Sprinkle evenly on top of the cake batter, and then top with the remaining cake batter until covered.
  5. Bake the cake: Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire cooling rack, then flip/transfer to the cake plate you will serve it on.
  6. Cool the cake: Let the cake cool for an additional 20 minutes (30 minutes total) before glazing.
  7. Make the glaze: To make the glaze, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1.5 – 4 tablespoons of milk in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Start by adding 1 1/2 tablespoon of milk and add additional tablespoons to reach desired glaze consistency. For a thicker, white glaze, use 1 1/2- 2 tablespoons of milk. For a thinner drizzle-like glaze that soaks into the cake, use 3-4 tablespoons of milk.
  8. Glaze and serve: Spoon glaze on top of the cake and top with chopped nuts, if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use oil or melted butter for richness depending on preference.
  • Adjust milk quantity in glaze for desired consistency: thicker for coating, thinner to soak in.
  • Cool cake properly before glazing for best results.
