CINNAMON WALNUT COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Grease and flour a 9 x13 pan, and preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix the cake mix, pudding, water, vegetable oil and eggs, but do not over mix.
• In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts.
• Spread about half of the cake mixture in your prepared pan, and sprinkle about 2/3 of the nut mixture over that.
• Spread the remaining cake mix over the filling (mix is thick and will be a little difficult, but it doesn't need to be perfect), and sprinkle the remaining nut mix over the top.
• Bake 45-55 minutes (depending on your oven). Cake is done when top springs back when touched, or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
