Even pastry chefs cheat from time to time and don't make everything from scratch. Our pastry chef shared this human recipe with us and says it's perfect when you're craving some warm comfort food but don't have the time or energy to make an entire coffee cake from scratch. Best of all, she promises that no one will know you cheated!
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 small box instant butterscotch pudding
4 eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Baking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375degrees F.
2. Combine cake mix and puddings and mix until all lumps are broken up. Add in eggs, water, oil, and vanilla, and mix until well blended.
3. In a seperate bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. This will act as the cake topping.
4. Grease a large bundt pan or other large baking pan and sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar mixture.
5. Pour in half of the cake mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cake topping over the dough and then pour the rest of the cake mixure on top.
6. Bake 20-30minutes and then reduce oven temperature to 325degrees F and bake for another 30 minutes (may require change in time due to pan shapes and sizes). Coffee cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack and allow to finish cooling upside down. Cake should release from pan while cooling.
8. Coffee cake can be kept covered for up to three days. Enjoy!
