Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, chopped walnuts or pecans, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Step 3: In a separate large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and melted buttermelted. Mix until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly. Layer half of the streusel mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the streusel.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: While the cake is baking, mix the confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Step 7: Once the cake is done, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.

Notes

  • This cake can be made a day in advance; store it covered at room temperature.
  • For a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead of graham cracker crumbs.
  • You can freeze the cake for up to 3 months; just thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
