A dry streusel coffee cake mix and a separate pecan streusel, packed in bags or jars. Each cake needs only an egg, milk, oil and butter, so it works as a gift or pantry staple.

Ingredients

Mix base

  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Streusel mix

  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Per cake

  • 2 cups cake mix
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine melted
  • 3/4 cup streusel mix

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Keep the cake mix in a large zip-top bag, vacuum-seal bag, or airtight jar.
  • In another bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans.
  • Keep the streusel in its own small airtight bag or jar.

Notes

Per cake: heat oven to 375°F and grease a 9-inch square pan. Mix the cake mix, egg, milk, oil, and melted butter until just combined; spread in the pan. Sprinkle streusel evenly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick near the center comes out clean. Serve warm. Storage: dry mix and streusel separately airtight in a cool, dry place about 3 months; baked cake covered 2 days room temperature or 3 to 4 days refrigerated.
