How to Make Easy Graham Streusel Cake
Step 1: Heat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Crush around 16 graham crackers (enough to get 2 cups of crushed graham crackers) using a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Melt 3/4 cup butter on the stove top or in a microwave safe bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracks with the brown sugar and melted butter and mix crumbs until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl combine the box cake mix with milk, vegetable oil and eggs. Blend cake mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl and mix for another minute. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan. Top with half of the streusel mixture. Add the remaining cake batter on top of the graham cracker mixture. Finally top the cake batter layer with the rest of the graham cracker streusel mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
1)Half of the cake batter goes on the bottom of the prepared 9x13 inch pan; 2) half of the streusel topping; 3) remaining batter; and 4) the rest of the streusel topping.
Step 3: While the cake is baking, make the powdered sugar glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time,to desired consistency. Use an electric mixer on low speed and mix until fully combined. Once the cake cools, drizzle the glaze over top of the cake!
