Notes

This recipe comes from the Hotel Frederick in Booneville, MO.

In my opinion, this cake only gets better as it sits, so make it the day before you plan to serve it for the best taste.
Grease your baking pan well to avoid sticking.
You can use plain slivered almonds or chopped pecans instead of sugared.
You can use any neutral oil and any lemon-lime flavored soda in this recipe.

Storage: Store cake mix coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
