Cake Mix Coffee Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13x2.5 inch baking dish* with cooking spray. Set aside.
Place dry cake mix, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a large mixing bowl, then whisk until combined.
Remove 2 cups of the mixture and place into another large bowl, then set aside (this is for your streusel topping).
To the first bowl, add in flour, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla, then mix until combined. Set aside.
Streusel Filling/Topping
To the second bowl with the reserved dry mixture, add in pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla, then mix until *just* combined — don’t overmix, you want clumps. Set aside.
Pour half the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle with half the streusel topping. Repeat the layers (cake batter then streusel).
Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out virtually clean.
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with the vanilla glaze.
Vanilla Glaze
Place powdered sugar, salt, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla into a medium sized bowl then whisk until smooth.
Pour over hot cake.
Cool slightly, then cut, serve, and enjoy!
