Copycat Starbucks Coffee Cake Recipe

Cake Mix Coffee Cake

This Starbucks Coffee Cake Recipe may just be better than the real thing! It’s the perfect addition to any brunch and is so good, you will be looking for a reason to invite over guests!

One of my favorite things about Easter is Easter Brunch.  And one of my favorite brunch recipes is a good coffee cake.  This Starbucks Coffee cake is the perfect easy brunch recipe.  You start with a boxed yellow cake mix, which guarantees a moist cake.  And the cake comes together in a snap.  Perfect for a busy holiday.

I love how tender and light the base of the cake is.  It is a perfect compliment to the heavier, crunchy, sugary topping!  It’s my favorite part. Usually foods with streusel toppings never have enough streusel topping for my liking but this Starbucks Coffee Cake has the perfect cake to topping ratio!

How to Make Starbucks Coffee Cake

• Start with a yellow cake mix.  Prepare it in a bowl following the package directions. 
• Pour batter onto a greased baking pan and bake at 350 degrees until the center of the cake is just barely set.
• While it is baking, prepare the crumb topping by mixing together the butter, flour, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla with a mixer until crumbly.
• Immediately after cake is removed from oven, break the crumb topping into marble size pieces with fingers, sprinkling over the top of the cake. 
• Return the cake to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. 
• Remove from the oven and serve.

Everyone will love this coffee cake and you will love how easy it is to make.
