It is very moist and yummy.

I copied this recipe posted by JPC and cannot seem to find a " butter pecan cake mix" anywhere. Does anyone know what company makes it? I would love to make this.

Thank you Sunshine.....now I know what to look for. I am going to try WalMart tomorrow.

I've never had a reason or event to have to make one of those, but if you go to Allrecipes, or Taste of Home, or The Food Network, I'm sure you'd have a large variety to choose from. I don't know what ingredients you have or would need, so you'll have to choose what you want.

Ditto on the Bisquick recipe as well as the Bisquick velvet crumb cake recipe.You can go to the Bisquick web site to get that one. For topping I blend cold butter, white sugar and more dry Bisquick (1/3C each) until it is crumbly and top the batter before baking. My Mom always used the velvet crumb cake recipe and did her topping the same way. No brown sugar or coconut or nuts. Very easy and delicious with a great cup of coffee or hot tea!

Re: looking 4 a wonderful easy recipe for coffee cake

Well, it is not easy, but so worth it. This recipe is from Ina Garten.

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream
2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)can use all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the streusel: 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon can use apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional

For the glaze: 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons real maple syrup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 4 to 5 minutes,
until light. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined.
Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.

For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl
and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts, if desired.

Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel.
Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up,
onto a serving plate. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup together, adding a few drops of water
if necessary, to make the glaze runny. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon
