The topping is nice and crunchy and the berries are soft and gooey. It's a great combination!
You can use a single berry, so it's all strawberries or all blueberries. My frozen berry mix was strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry. So good!

Directions for making this Easy Fruity Coffee Cake Recipe:
Thaw fruit and drain, do not press, just drain the juices and then set them aside for later.
Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, setting it aside as well.
In a small bowl, combine ½ cup cake mix, brown sugar and butter. Your best bet is to use a pastry blender to blend butter into the mix until it's fine crumbs.
Stir in your chopped pecans and set it aside.
In a separate bowl, add together your remaining cake mix and the flour and mix it well.
Add in your eggs and sour cream and mix it very well.
Gently fold in your berries.
Spread this mixture into a prepared pan and top it with the crumb mixture you have made.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool until warm and slice to serve. This Easy Fruity Coffee Cake Recipe makes 24 slices.
