Streusel Coffee Cake

This recipe is at least 30 years old and was perfect for Christmas Eve dinner and the morning after.

1 package Betty Crocker Yellow Cake mix or equivalent
1/4 cup firm butter
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups dairy sour cream (12 ounces)

Heat over to 350 degrees. Measure 2/3 cup of cake mix (dry mix) into small bowl. Cut in the butter. Mix in brown sugar and walnuts. Combine well with a large fork. Set aside.

Beat eggs lightly with a fork; stir in sour cream. Blend in remaining cake mix, scraping bowl often. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy. Pour half the batter into a greased and floured oblong pan, 13x9 inches (I actually used a foil lasagna pan); sprinkle half the mix above over the batter. Spoon and gently spread the remaining batter into the pan; top with the remaining dry mix above. Bake 40-45 minutes. This serves beautifully when cut into squares and served on a cake plate.
