This cake is one of those “go to” recipes that I make often. Even though most of my baking is from scratch, it’s always good to have a few recipes that are quick and easy. And of course, taste great. This cake starts with a cake mix, and just a few more ingredients makes it taste like it was baked from scratch.
I originally found this recipe, shared by an Amish cook that writes a column for the newspaper in a nearby town. She used it as a Coffee Cake, but I have always served it as dessert. Either way, Graham Streusel Cake is sure to please your family.

- Mix in Butter or Margarine until well combined, set aside.

Baking it right now…think I will drizzle caramel sauce on top when done instead of glaze, mmmm!
I am so glad I found your blog. I bet this is on here somewhere but do you use all throw away containers for baking or do you use real pans and just buy allot of them

@pam, Thanks for visiting Pam! The only disposable pans I use are the small loaf pans for bread, I wash and re-use them.
