Notes

Notes:
The best baking pan is a 9 inch bundt pan however I have made coffee cakes in 13×9 pans as well. The baking time will cary depending on the pan used. 
I used a 16 oz size yellow boxed cake mix from Trader Joe's. The 15 oz boxes will work as well. 
Storage:
Store any leftover pumpkin coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
