Fast and Easy Breakfast

Looking for something easy to put together - but sure to impress.  This is one of my favorite coffee cakes.

Graham Streusel Cake

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 stick butter - softened
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Vanilla Glaze (see below)

Grease and flour 13x9x2" pan.  Mix crumbs, nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter; reserve.  Blend cake mix, water, oil and eggs until moist.  Beat 3 minutes.  Pour 1/2 of batter into pan; sprinkle 1/2 crumb mixture.  Pour remaining batter.  Top with remaining crumbs.  Bake 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.  Cool.  Drizzle cake with glaze.

Vanilla Glaze
mix 1 cup powder sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons water (begin with one tablespoon mix then check for consistency before adding additional water) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until desired consistency.
