Cinnamon Streusel Cake

This is a very simple and very rich cake that is perfect if you are looking for something besides the usual cookies or brownies. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law.  My kids call it the "cinnamon roll cake" because it reminds them of cinnamon rolls.  It is super yummy!

Cinnamon Streusel Cake:

Ingredients:
CAKE:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons oil
1-1/2 cups water
2 eggs
STREUSEL:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted butter
GLAZE:
1-1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons softened butter


Directions:
1.  Stir cake mix, pudding mix, and flour together until blended.  Add oil, water, and eggs.  Beat on slow speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for 2 minutes.
2.  To make the streusel mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until well blended.
3.  Pour half the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan.  Sprinkle half the streusel over the batter.  Pour in the rest of the cake batter and top with remaining streusel.
4.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until cooked through.  Remove cake from pan and drizzle the glaze over the top while still warm.

5.  To make the glaze mix the powdered sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
