Grandfather's Favorite Coffee Cake

Grandfather's Favorite Coffee Cake Recipe

This cake is incredibly good and you would never know it uses a boxed cake mix. I'll never forget the smile on my grandfather's face when he presented me with a piece of my grandmother's new found recipe (15 yrs. ago!). I now enjoy watching family and friends reaction as they take a bite! EDIT: Please do not use a food processor for this recipe- The reviews do not come out as favorably as when the recipe is made as written. (I'm not sure of the original source of this recipe, I just know that my grandmother has an eye for picking out good recipes!)

  • 1 (1 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (the small size container)

Instructions
 

  • Mix together sugar, cocoa, nuts, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Mix together cake mix, vanilla pudding, eggs, oil, and sour cream. Beat full speed with mixer for 2 minute.
  • Pour into a greased tube pan alternately with dry mix, ending with dry mix on top.

  • Note: Do not put dry mixture too close to the edge of pan, as it will make it difficult to cut.
