Streusel Coffee Cake

Stacie's mom has used this as a go to coffee cake for years - probably because it cooks in the microwave in five minutes. No, that's not a typo, five minutes, that's it! The hard part is finding a bundt pan that can be microwaved, but we bet that cooking it in the oven would have the same delicious result. Made with sour cream, this cake is as delectably sticky. A brown sugar, walnut and butter streusel goes between all the layers of cake and gives an appealing look to the finished product.

 

Here's the recipe: 

1 box of yellow cake mix (no pudding in the mix)

1 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup walnuts, chopped

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 eggs

1.5 cups sour cream (ours had a little less)

Mix 1/3 of the dry cake mix with the sugar and butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts and set aside.

Beat egg slightly with fork; blend in sour cream. Mix in remaining cake mix.

In bottom of 6 cup ring mold, sprinkle 1/3 of the streusel topping. Pour half the cake batter in, sprinkle 1/3 streusel topping, remainder of cake batter and top with last 1/3 of streusel topping. 

Microwave 5 to 6 minutes.
