Cinnamon Spice Coffee Cake

4.80 from 5 votes

This bundt cake coffee cake starts with a boxed cake and pudding, then is spiced with cinnamon and cloves, with a swirl throughout made with walnuts, brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, star anise, and clove. I glazed it with a cinnamon vanilla glaze. It's aromatic and delicious and is perfect for breakfast or brunch, or even dessert.
