Ingredients

• 18.25 Ounces (oz) package yellow cake mix, packaged
• 3.4 Ounces (oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3.4 Ounces (oz) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 Cup (c) water
• 1 Cup (c) vegetable oil
• 1 Cup (c) brown sugar, packed
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) ground cinnamon
• 1 Cup (c) walnuts, minced

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or a 10-inch Bundt cake pan with butter or non-stick spray for easy release.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, and butterscotch pudding mix. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and minced walnuts to create the cinnamon-walnut filling.
4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-walnut mixture over the batter.
5. Pour the remaining batter over the first layer and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining cinnamon-walnut mixture.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue baking for an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the rich flavors and moist texture of this delightful coffee cake.
