Everyone needs a classic coffee cake recipe. I’ve taken the liberty of doubling the streusel topping, you’ll thank me for it. Simple to make and leaves your house smelling really good on Sunday morning.
Bisquick Coffee Cake: Betty Crocker
Heat oven to 375°F.
Ingredients:
- Cinnamon Streusel (below)
- 2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
- 2/3 cup milk or water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
Directions:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 9-inch round pan. Make Cinnamon Streusel; reserve.
- Stir remaining ingredients until blended.
- Mix in a 1/4 of the Streusel topping and spread in pan. Cover with Cinnamon Streusel.
- Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown, testing with a toothpick.
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- 2/3 cup Original Bisquick® mix
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine (firm)
Mix all ingredients in small bowl until crumbly. Cutting them with a knife and fork helps seperate the butter.

Thanks for having this recipe online. It is my all time favorite

Thanks so much! My husband was just asking for this last weekend!
Thank you a million times I have looked all over for this one!
Thanks so much I too have been looking for this recipe for ever. My son has been asking for this.
Oh my! I just thought about this for a breakfast tonight for all the dad’s in our family. I’m so glad I found this. What would I do without the internet? This is a great recipe and I actually forgot about it until I found it several weeks ago (cut off the bisquick box) when going thru some of my mom’s recipe books and stuff. Then I lost it. Thanks
okay iv tried this recipe.. I made it a couple of days ago for my grandmothers birthday.. he told me that the cake thing was out of this world.. I made this recipe because my granny LOVES cofee… Well thank you so much for puttin this recipe on the internet.. I LOVE IT AND ALL OF MY FAMILY DOES TO
@
In true Bakersfield style, I tripled the streusel topping recipe. Ohhhh, bad idea. I can’t move for the rest of the day. But thanks anyway. If I only still had my Flinstones plates to serve it on…
here’s just copy and paste the below for all those that don’t know how to copy/paste from a website:

Thank you for posting this recipe, I have been looking for this for a long time.

I have been looking for this one for a long time too! I feel so lucky to find it.
Thanks so much for posting this. I remember it from more relaxed weekend mornings of my childhood. It used to be on every box of Bisquick—but I’ve been searching two years on boxes without success. It is simple and delicious with hot coffee and fresh sliced fruit of any kind.
ditto! I’ve been searching for this recipe too. I’m so glad I finally found it. Thanks for the posting!!
I was so glad to find this, I too missed seeing it on the box, and then hoped to find it on the internet.
I am headed to the kitchen now to make it.
THANKS

Thank you for this recipe. My mom lives in a little addition we put on for her, and she is having a guest over today. she is 78 and was looking at the new box. The recipe is new on the box, and she was wanting the cinnamon topping instead of the coconut. I was so happy when I found it online. We love Bisquick, and eat the pancakes two to three times a week. My kids ask for them all the time.
Thanks again. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! I loved this coffee cake as a kid …and the Bisquick box I have does not have the coffee cake recipe on it.
My kids love it, too!
Thanks so much. I remember the box, I remember the cake, and I was looking for this one too. Great minds must think alike!
I’m glad you all love this recipe as much as I do. It’s been a breakfast favorite for many a Sunday.
I used this area as a repository for recipes so I can access them anywhere. Send me your favorites and I’ll add them.

Add me to the people who are so glad you posted this recipe. I to was disappointed to see it was no longer on the Bisquick box. Guess what I’m making this weekend.
hello

Thanks for having this recipe .. It is one of our family favorates.
Thanks for posting it. Why they took it off the box of Bisquick I’ll never understand as it it so good.
thank you for the recipe my family loves this coffee cake i couldnt find it no where, thank you again barb
Thanks goodness for the Internet. I woke up this morning craving Bisquick coffee cake. Imagine my surprise when I went to the box and there was no recipe.
Thanks for posting it.
Thanks so much!! I have been looking all over for this recipe, even calling people to see if it was on their boxes. Off to make mine now.
FINALLY
This is the BEST recipe! I used to make this all the time as a kid. Now I have kids and want to make it for them. They love it too!
Childhood revisited! and now I can create the same future flashback for my four girls. Thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this!! My Hubby was asking me to make this and I am so glad you have it here!!
Hugs!

Christmas breakfast would just not be the same without this recipe. Thank you for posting it on line, I’ve tried to make it from memory and the actual recipe is better.
Oh – thank you for posting this recipe. My husband loves this coffee cake and the new boxes no longer have the recipen the back!!
Whew – Christmas will be a much happier occassion!!
Add me to those who wanted this for Christmas morning—I was confident that it would be on the internet somewhere. Thank you for this site.
I wanted to add my thanks like so many others. This is Christmas morning to me. The smell of it baking in the oven is just the thing to bring me back to those childhood memories. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this recipe. I have a craving for it and we’ll be having for New Year’s Day breakfast. My dad used to make it when I was growing up. Yummy!
Here it is New Year’s Day and we didn’t have anything sweet to eat, but we had Bisquick but no recipe for coffeecake. Thanks to the internet, we now have it!!
Absolutely great, and just as I remembered it as a kid. Thanks for posting the recipe!
Thanks for posting this recipe. My grown daughter was looking for the recipe during the holidays and I could not find it in my clippings. She tried to make it from scratch and nothing compares.
As so many others, I am most grateful that you posted this on-line. I can’t believe that Betty Crocker would eliminate this wonderful recipe from the Bisquick boxes. Thank you so very much; I will definitely treasure the print-out.
I remember when I was younger I made this for my parents all the time…Great comfort food. Thanx for the trip back in time.
My daughter came home in need of a recipe that she could make for her nutrition class that contained cinnamon. I remembered this was easy and good. Like others, I grabbed the box off the shelf and realized it no longer was printed on it. Thanks for posting this.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? I remember when I was stationed in West Berlin, West Germany (1973-1977) my folks would send me a care package with the Aunt Jemima coffee crumb cake mix (remember it included a plastic bag and the tin to bake it in?). I don’t think they make the Aunt Jemima mix anymore… but the Bisquick receipe is essentially the same
This is a great receipe for when you need something quickly. Any thoughts of how to convert this for a microwave?
THANK YOU SO MUCH for having this recipe. I love this recipe and my box doesn’t have this particular recipe on it anymore.
Thank God for the internet
! I finally found my Bisquick Coffee Cake receipe.
Why on earth did they ever take it off the box????
Thanks for the recipe. I wasn’t worried about this recipe not being on the box as much as Bisquick not having it on their web site. Thanks again!!
My daughter was looking on the box for this recipe & I laughed & said it hadn’t been there for years. She was disappointed at the loss of a childhood favorite. All at once, we said Google! And here it is, same one. Thanks for posting it, and thanks to Google too.
Thanks so much for this wonderful and quick receipe – I added some diced up fresh apple to the batter – YUM
it is good Thank you
yes it is good, very good
Thank you for this recipe. My Neighbor used to make this when I was a kid. I remember loving the topping. I have looked for the recipe but only found the coconut version on the box. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for publishing this recipe! It is my son’s 39th birthday and he wanted that coffee cake. I made it often when he was growing up. I knew it wasn’t on the box, but can’t understand why it isn’t on their website.
I think Bisquick felt since it’s on buzolich.com, it doesn’t need to be on their website.
btw: lucky son
YES!! Why did they take it off the box!! Couldn’t have found without “google.”
An old standby.
Just another person glad to see the recipe again. I love this cake
Thanks for printing this favorite recipe! I have the low-fat version of Bisquick in the house. Any idea how I can convert the recipe, or do I need to go buy an Original? Thanks.
I’ve never used the low-fat version, didn’t know they had one. Actually never thought that Bisquick might have enough fat to warrant a low-fat version.
Is the pancake recipe in the low-fat version different from the 2 cups Bisquick, egg and a cup of milk on the standard box?
I added an apple, a couple sprinkles of cinnamon on the apples, and threw in a handful of raisins. Then on top, I added a couple tablespoons of chopped walnuts and 1/4 stick butter cut into tiny chunks. It tasted more like the coffee cakes I remember as a child. Wonderful although it sure is thick when I spread it in the pan. Maybe due to the milk being cold. And I used the lowfat Bisquick along with Fat-Free (skim) Milk.
haha, that is the funniest thing i ever read. you put LOW FAT SKIM MILK and used LOWFAT BISCUICK and then added 1/4 stick butter…
haha… well everything IS better wtih real butter

I too recall my mom making this coffee cake (or rather the cinnamon-sugar crumbs I used to sneak off the top as a kid.) Thank you so much for posting this and doubling the topping recipe~ a kid after my own heart ;~)
It’s (the recipe) inside the box now…. of course i did not feel like ripping up the box, so I figured I would google the recipe. I have added very finely chopped pecans to the topping for those not allergic to nuts…....And I am not witing till Sunday morn.. we are expecting a good amount of snow tonight, will be good with a hot cup of tea and watch the snow falling!
New Year! New thanks! I have this recipe at home, but when visiting my daughter and Grandkids for New Year’s they requested it, and sure enough you had it. I also always double the topping. Thanks so much for sharing!
Finally! I didn’t know they had put it inside the box. One place I didn’t look..ha ha….I am thankful to have found the recipe again. I use to make this all the time. Thanks for sharing.
Bless you! With half the family just getting over two weeks of illness, our favorite coffee cake seemed like just the thing to brighten the morning. Imagine my distress to discover the recipe was no where to be found!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I need to make 2 coffee cakes for my sons class. I remember this being a very easy recipe. When I went to the box to make them, the recipe wasn’t there, inside or outside!! You’re a life saver
Bless you! The whole Bragdon family bows down to you and all your glorious coffee cake recipies. Can we come to the barn?
I was going thru some old recipes of my mother’s today and I got to thinking about some of the wonderful old recipes of my childhood. Bisquick Coffee Cake came to mind and I ran to the pantry to see if the recipe was still on the box…...NO! Thank goodness for the internet and your website. My mom usually made the coconut topping version which I don’t see here but I suppose one would just add a little coconut and a few nuts to the cinnamon recipe.
Thanks for posting this recipe—haven’t had this old favorite in years! I just had to tell you that I made one tonight—and I did it with healthier ingredients and it was still great! I did the following substitutions:
Healthy Substitutions for this recipe (use same measurements):
Heart Healthy Bisquick (instead of regular)
Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for Baking (instead of regular brown sugar)
Splenda (instead of real sugar)
Smart Balance Lite Spread (instead of butter or margarine)
1% or skim milk for the milk
It came out really great—nice texture, tasted wonderful. And saved tons of fat, calories, sugar and carbs!
One item of note: I used an 8 inch square glass pan instead of 9 inch round … and had to bake it for 30 minutes to get the center done. But it was really good.
I thought people watching what they eat might appreciate knowing about this healthier version. My husband has heart problems and diabetes, so we have to watch it.
Enjoy!
Thank you for this healthy version. I have the low fat Bisquick and was thinking how I could substitute the recipe to keep it low fat. My husband had heart surgery 2 years ago and I do my best to give him variety including using regular recipes and modifying them. You saved me the work!
Thanks
Thanks for the info. The sugar substitute really helps out for my diabetic spouse.
My best friend loves this recipe more than life itself. Everytime she visits or I visit her, I have to make it. Just made it-forgot the recipe and thank goodness I found this website. The one thing I change, besides doubling the topping is I make TWO cakes with the recipe of one. I always thought it was a little cakey and making two nine inch cake pans with the same recipe works really well. Man, is it good…gotta go eat!!
Like all the rest of us, I’ve been looking for this for years. Imagine my delight at finding this site before breakfast this morning….. What a treat! Thank You!!
It’s cooking right now. I was surprised to see it not on the box. I used to cook it for my family on weekends as a kid. I got pretty good at so decided to revive it now that I have a 11 month old daughter, Adia Ray. Thanks to the website I am back in business!
Oakland, Ca
This recipe is a proven winner, even with the old single streusel topping. Can’t wait to try the double-gooey goodness.
Yes! Thanks so much for posting this! I want to make it for my husband’s birthday tomorrow morning. Just like Mom used to make.
Can’t wait to try it! Gotta love Google.
SEEING THIS RECIPE WAS GREAT ! I REMEMBER MAKING IT FOR MY KIDS WHEN MONEY WAS TIGHT. IT’S DELICIOUS AND I’M GOING TO MAKE ONE TONIGHT
!!
This site is a Godsend! I missed the recipe on the box! Can’t understand it not being on there! Kind of like the fudge recipe on the Hershey’s can! All gone!
Thanks. I hope Bisquick sees how many people lov ethis recipe and put it back on the box! Thank you for providing it for my family to enjoy! Amy

When my children were young, in the early 1970’s, we often had this great coffee cake. Now my grown daughter has requested the recipe to make for her own children. I am delighted to find it on this website!
I woke up this morning and the rain was pouring down. I thought I would make the coffee cake and some coffee and enjoy the rain. I had not realized that the coffee cake recipe is no longer on the Bisquick box! I also would like to thank you for posting it on this website. Thank god for the internet!!
Thanks for the recipe….can this be made in a 9X13 pan or do I have to double the recipe??
I layer half of the mix, half of streusel (I have always doubled the streusel-can’t have too much of a good thing), the other half of mix & then the final layer of streusel on top.
I’m VERY happy to have found this recipe at last. I’m now living in France so I actually have to make my bisquick with a copycat recipe and I can’t wait to try this. I was a kid back in the 70’s too and I think we all grew up on this cake!
I saved my recipes from the old box.I love using them.They are great and easy to make.My favorite is the strawberry short cake one. I’m fifty-six and still have them.
Just wanted to say thanks for the recipe! My son has been begging fo this for months and I haven’t been able to make it for him… until now! Thank you, thank you!
I was so thrilled to pull up the recipe for your famous wonderful coffee cake but when I printed it there were 15 pages of comments which was so unnecessary because I know how great this recipe is. Get rid of that junk, it just uses up a lot of ink. Thanks.
Or you can just have your printer print only the first page…and I guess your comment just lengthened the ‘junk’. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, I agree. I have also been looking for this recipe for years. I printed 20 pages to get it. Did not need to print all the comments.
it’s pretty simple. Highlight the recipe, right click and copy, then paste it into word/notepad/works or the program of your choice, then print it off. Pretty simply really.
Oct. 7, 2006 It’s a mazing that today after so many years there seems no need to have basics on the box———————cake for emergency company was always easy to whip up. A shame that a true blue Amercian company product seems intent on only fast suppers and trendy meals and has forgottem what got them where they are.
A few years ago they had recipes for various ways to make pancakes and I even tried one that was feather light. Don’t see that any more nor the quick cake they were famous for when someone called and was coming over——what a wonderful smell greeted them when they got there. Perhaps the newer generation needs to be reintroduced to the fast cake that was special then and now!
So, are all of us who crave Bisquick coffee cake baby-boomers?
My mom used to make this cake for me and my two brothers growing up…but I’m only 24. This cake spans the generations.
Thanks much for this recipe. I’m baking it right now and, boy, does this place smell good. Can’t wait ‘til it’s done!
I’m looking for a snickerdoodle cookie recipe that uses nutmeg (and maybe cinnamon, too). You make little balls and roll them in the nutmeg/sugar, then mash them with a fork.
VERY BABY BOOMERISH CAKE, LOVE IT
Thanks so much for posting this! I grew up with it, but being single I don’t bake it too often any more… then when I wanted to, I couldn’t find it, then like you I thought “INTERNET
” There it was! So, thanks!
Yep! That’s the one! Now I can make one of my favorite comfort foods! Thanks bunches!!
I love this cake, and for years the recipe was on the box. I just took for granted that it would always be there. I called everybody I know and no one had the recipe either, so thanks for the posting. My family will be in for a treat this Christmas.
My daughter wanted a apple coffee cake and I told her the best recipe is on the Bisquick box and is very simple, however, it was no longer there. You made our day, thank you. When I was younger we always put apples under the topping.
Thanks for the recipe. I went to the betty crocker site and still couldnt find it. Did find alot of recipe books they want to sell. Making this for my kids this Christmas morning. Merry Christmas!
When I was growing up (in the 1970s and 80s), my family had the original version of this recipe every year for Christmas. I’m amazed in reading all these comments not only to see how many other people enjoyed this coffee cake during their childhoods but also how many others enjoyed this particular treat on Christmas morning! I had always assumed my family were pretty much unique in that!
Then one year I went vegan and we stopped using this particular recipe because the Bisquick mix at that time was not vegan (early 1990s). We tried many other recipies from scratch, some of which were pretty good (though I don’t remember any specifically)—some were vegan to begin with, other recipes we adapted with a few simple substitutions (e.g., soy margarine and soy milk instead of the dairy equivalents; and either corn starch mixed with a little liquid or a product called Energ-G egg replacer instead of the egg). But then last year my parents discovered that Bisquick had changed their ingredients and are now vegan. Last year, Mom got up first on Christmas Day and made the coffee cake so I didn’t realize it wasn’t on the box any more. This year, my partner and I got up first and went to make the coffee cake and realized, Oh No!, the recipe wasn’t on the box! I tried using my cell phone to go on the Bisquick web site to find the recipe and couldn’t seem to find it there (I got 51 returns for the search term “coffee cake” on the Bisquick site, and didn’t care to browse through all 51 of them on my tiny cell phone screen for the one I wanted). I was busy trying to think of another search term to try when Mom walked in and told me she already got the recipe from this site.
Thank you to Buzolich for helping to “rescue” my old childhood memories!
Also, thank you to Dede for suggesting the “healthy” substitutions. I’m not aware of a good VEGAN low-fat substitute for butter/margarine. But I hadn’t known before that Splenda has a brown sugar equivalent—hmm, I’ll have to look for that (though I seem to have trouble enough finding the “white” sugar version). And I’ll have to look for the low-fat version of Bisquick.
For vegan substitutes:
1. This year, we used water instead of milk. But now that Bisquick has gone vegan, I might buy a box myself and make it with soy milk. Silk Nog would give it a Christmas-y flavor. [People allergic to soy could simply use the water—it DOES work well; or you could try rice milk, or they have nut milks etc.]
2. For the butter/margarine, MOST mainstream grocery stores never carry vegan margarine. USUALLY you have to go to a natural food store and buy soy margarine. [I don’t know what vegans with soy allergies would do—I’ve never seen a soy-free vegan margarine, though it seems to me that it should be quite feasible for the manufacturers to make one.] But my parents managed to find a corn oil margarine in a regular grocery store that is vegan (though still with soy). We used that for the streusel topping.
3. This year, we mashed up half a ripened banana to substitute for the egg. I thought it would make the cake taste sort of banana-y, but I couldn’t even tell (possibly that’s just me and my taste buds). If someone WANTS a distinctly banana flavor, I guess you could mash up extra banana or something.
But for myself at home, I would probably use a product called Ener-G egg replacer. Or for people who don’t have that, or don’t have easy access to a natural food store, then corn starch also works. See http://www.vrg.org (Vegetarian Resource Group) for more egg and dairy substitute ideas.
And, yes, a vegan coffee cake is just as wonderful as the original version! My parents and sister are NOT vegan and they still love this cake too!
I always changed this recipe by using 1 cup of sugar instead of the 2 T and add in 1/2 cup pecans.
Thank you so much for having this available. I reciently moved and my recipe books are in storage, I have 6 sons and this is one of their favorite. Thanks again
My dad just asked me to find this recipe right now…lol. Ever since my mom introduced it to us, we’ve loved it and it’s definitely one of our favorite goodies. I really like the cherry coffee cake version, too. They’re both delicious! Snickerdoodles, and Russian Tea Cakes are my two other favorite goodies.
Thanks so much! My 7 brothers and sisters and I would come home from school and make this for an afternoon treat. It was quick and easy, and delicious too. Can’t wait to make it for my girls
! God Bless You.
i made this cake all the time when i was pregnant and then i lost the recipe and then i could never find it on the new boxes. my husband is gonna be so excited when he gets home and smells it baking…....cant wait…going bake right now
I too have been looking for this recipe as it was alway a favorite. Not only do I double (or triple) the streusel topping but I layer it between the dough. Thank you!!
Has anyone ever tried this recipe in a bundt cake pan? How did it turn out?
I was very happy to find this recipe. I enjoyed reading all the comments. If Bisquick could see all the comments they would probably put it back on the box. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I too grew up making this as a kid. I still remember the very first time I made it, I was 10 yrs old. I have tried a few coffee cake recipes lately and none have been exactly what I was looking for. All I could think of was the bisquick coffee cake and could never find it on the new boxes. Can’t wait until morning!! I know what I’m having for breakfast!!
How about “pre” baby boomers???? We love this recipe, too
!
I used to make this several years ago but the new boxes don’t have the recipe on them. Why not bring it back?
Thank You, my mom was looking for this
I have been looking for this reciepe for years, thank you for posting it and many thanks to Google. How about a reciepe for Irish soda Bread.
Don’t know if you have gotten this recipe yet but here ya go…
Irish Soda Bread from the 1973 Bisquick Cookbook
The Pride of Ireland made an easy modern way. A caraway and raisin adaptation. Good, quick and inexpensive.
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
¼ cup raisins
1tsp. Caraway seed
1/3 cup Milk
Heat Oven at 450 degrees
1-mix all ingredients
2-Spread dough in greased 8” pie pan.
3- Bake about 12 minutes or until golden. Cut into wedges, serve hot and if you like with butter. 4 to 6 servings
Thank you! I had this recipe and lost it; you don’t know how long I’ve been searching. It’s in the oven now. I knew it was quiick and easy but the details escaped me. It is St. Patrick’s Day and I can’t wait to eat it with my Irish breakfast tea
Like Kathy above, I made this when I was a kid and always relied on the side of the box for the recipe when I made it through the years. I am going to fix it for Easter morning!
Haven’t made this coffee cake in years..thank you for the receipe..
Thanks for this recipe – its great to have as I usually have the ingredients in the house and dont need to run to the store. Yummy too.
I join with all the other “Thank You for posting this”! Every year since I was a child it was a Mothers day tradition for my sister and I to bake this for my mom. When I had my children, they continued the tradition. In moving several times, along with assuming the recipe was still on the box, I lost it. This year my grand daughter gets to join in the tradition. With tomorrow being Mothers day, I would have been in big trouble if I hadn’t found it! Thank you again and Happy Mothers Day!
That is sweet!! We should pass on this traditional recipe for our special days!! How the kids love it, just like we did. Was shocked how many of us there are
My daughter asked for coffee cake this morning. I went to my bisquick box, but alas, it did not have the recipe! Glad I found your website!
I too went to my “Costco” sized Bisquick box, and the recipe was gone. Thanks for posting!
I’m a 15 year old kid, my friend and I used to always make this and then eat the whole coffee cake ourselves. Anything more complicated would certainly harm our teenage boy brains, so when this recipe disappeared from the Bisquick box I panicked. Looks like we’re still in buisness, though.
We did too! You’ll remember this special treat forever
keep cooking!
Yum! Thanks so much for the recipe! My box has the recipe, but I went online to check if people liked it. I just finished making it, and it’s so good! Much thanks for the streusel tip!
this is great!! been lookin for something to do with apples and the bisquick coffee cake might just work
My mom made this for us kids all the time growing up. She has the orginal recipe from the betty Crocker cookbook pamplet. It is covered with splotchs of bater.
Thank you for posting. Your right the streusel does need to be doubled as this recipe is.
For an extra delight we put sliced peaches in ours.
I love this recipe! My husband just loves it too. the broiler on our oven is being repaired and we cant wait to once again make this great recipe. we just love it1
Thanks everyone for all the nostalgic comments. I thought of Bisquick coffeecake to feed the cross country team runners in our house, and here’s the recipe! I beefed it up nutritionally with canned pumpkin, some rolled oats, and diced pears for fall. It’s in the oven. It may be a little more moist than usual, but should still be yummy. Blessings and good wishes to all who keep tradition alive.
Coffecake is just the thing to warm up the house on a chilly MN morning. I have a busy day ahead,and this is a perfect way to start it out. Thanks to Bisquick. Wishing you all a great day.
I add my thanks for posting this recipe! I live in Europe and found a small (expensive)box of Bisquick in a supermarket. Of cource I wanted to make the classic coffee cake- no recipe on the box and even Bisquick.com doesnt seem to have it. Sunday breakfast is saved!
I’m impressed how people took the time to search the Internet for this recipe, but not on Bisquick’s own web site. Go to http://www.bisquick.com and search for “Streusel Coffee Cake” (without the quotes, of course) and you WILL find this original recipe (without the doubled topping alteration).
You may also find other recipes that used to be on/in the Bisquick box. Keep in mind, that some people might be annoyed if Betty Crocker NEVER rotated some of the recipes on/in the box! It would only be ignorant… if they didn’t print recipes for pancakes and waffles EVERY time!
I looked for this recipe on the Betty Crocker/Bisquick website, “Bisquick coffee cake” or just “coffee cake” and never found it after scrolling thru what seemed like hundreds of pancake recipes.
The fact however uncomfortable it may be to accept, is that bodybuilders in general are pound for pound the leanest athletes on the planet.
Thanks from me and my family as well. I make this every Christmas morning to carry on a tradition that was started when i was a child now my kids and grandkids won’t even open presents until they have had their coffee cake and hot chocolate Christmas morning. only problem is i have to make 5 now because they have their own families. i told them they better learn to make their own i won’t be here forever lol
WAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANK GOODNESS FOR THE NET
This summer my son and his three young boys came to visit me in Alaska. I baked this and they loved it. I’m now visiting them for Christmas. Not anticipating their request for this coffee cake, I didn’t bring the recipe. thank goodness for the Internet and for this posting. Long distance grandmas need all the points they can get!
I am almost ashamed to admit that I triple the original streusel topping (1 C Bisquick, etc.). I have 3 boys and it is always a hit at our house. I figure if you double the ingredients that make something yummy, it is really yummy – triple the yummy ingredients and it is positively sinful. It makes ooey, gooey, cinnamon-y pockets of streusel.
Thank you so much for the recipe! I lost my recipe books when we moved and just like everyone else was surprised when the recipe was not on the box. I also checked the Bisquick website and could not find it. It is great to have on a cold snowbound day. Just like we had last weekend.
Halleujah! The original recipe!
Thank you so much for your website was happy to find my favorite Coffee cake recipe I see I am not the only one that LOVES this Coffee Cake. You should bring the recipe back to the new Bisquick boxes.
Thank You for this website.
I’m so glad you had the coffee cake recipe! I’m 58 and have enjoyed making it for years but lately I haven’t been able to find it, It seems it’s been replaced.If that’s the case it’s too bad. It will now go in my recipe box for safe keeping.
My first week of marriage and my husband asked if I could make a coffee cake for Sunday morning. “Of course”, I said with confidence. I went for the Bisquick box and to my surprise, no recipe. I couldn’t believe it. Thank goodness for your posting.
my mom make all the on sunday it my best thing in on that day .my has past a way and i my let my daghter have the good smell of the coffee that i had
I was thinking about this recipe the other day, but I’m not really surprised to find it here. This is an old classic and will never go away. Thank you for posting it. I’m 59 and I can remember my sisters, and I making it when I was a young child.
I just got off the Bisquick site, all I wanted was this coffee cake recipe. I was on there 45min & couldn’t get site to give me the recipe, they didn’t have a search line to list what I wanted so I guessed & guessed but…. Anyway THANKS, Thanks
Linda
I’ve made this but have used a little less milk and have added diced mango and squeezed the juice out of the seed. This makes for a delicious coffee cake.
Yummy, add blueberries or another favorite fruit to make it even better!
Thank you sooooo much. I have looking for this for years (literally). Why did they take it off the box? Great recipe, thanks again.
You are so awesome! Along with all the above, thank you for the recipe!! I’ve been looking for it for years! I’ve wanted to share my childhood tradition with grandkids, an easy “first recipe” for them, and could not find it!! Thank YOU!!
I have been searching for this recipe for years…I used to make it for my brother and sisters when we were kids. I always doubled the topping! This is terrific.
I’m so glad that this recipe was on-line. My mother asked if I had the recipe. Of course, I didn’t. Told her I might be able to get it on-line. Thank you so much for that.
I woke up this morning wanting to share a childhood memory with my children. When the recipe for this delicious coffee cake was not on the box, I thought for sure I would disappoint them. I am so very grateful to you for including it on your website. What a wonderful trek down memory lane. I’ll be back!!
Thank you for publishing this recipe
My grandaughter says it was her favorite growing up and wanted me to make it again. Thanks.
Yay! I found it. It’s no longer on the back of the box.
I made one for myself every day for a year, ate the entire cake.
First year I was married, gained a few lbs., but I was young.
Thanks for bringing back a great memory. I’m going to take a trip down memory lane, right this minute. Probably eat the whole cake!
It never did have enough topping. I also have added raisins. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for this! I could no longer find the recipe on the box – thank goodness for the internet! I’ve always found the cake turns out dry – so this morning I added a 1/2 cup of sour cream to the mix, and wow, what a difference – nice and moist. Perfect breakfast for a Saturday morning…
It is St. Patrick’s Day, and after making my mother’s Irish soda bread for dinner, I wished, as I have many times before, that I could also make the coffee cake she made with chopped dried apricots when I was growing up. I went downstairs and googled Bisquick coffee cake, and it certainly is my lucky day, because this is the cake. I read all 146 comments, looking for the variations. My mom added 1/2 cup of dried apricots, and now I can enjoy her version again. Thank you very much from another pre-boomer.
THANKS! I was desperate..snowed-in in Milwaukee (AGAIN) and wanted this good ole stand-by. It’s not EVEN on their web page or in 184 other recipes! Thanks to you, memories have been renewed!
Why don’t you put the recipe of the coffee cake back on the box. I grow up with this recipe, my mom will fix for Sunday breakfast before church. My kids love the recipe and now I have grandkids I would to make it for them.
Yes, you need to put this recipe back on the box! (maybe with a few variations. It would be really popular and sell more Bisquick! Think about it!
thank for recipe…its not on the box (club size)
thank you for this recipe..My mom made this for us all the time as a child..she has been gone for 5 years now and tomorrow is mothers day..What better time to share it with my family..
Thank you so much for this – I have a generic baking mix that doesn’t have a recipe and this was the only one I kept thinking of
!
A thousand thanks! I’ve been thinking of this recipe recently. I first made the cake in 1975, foolishly assumed the recipe would always be there when I needed it. I couldn’t find it on the Bisquick website, so am glad that trusty Google led me to your website. Now to explore the site and find other treasures. Thanks again.
I was thrilled to find the recipe this morning, woke up craving a Sunday morning treat but knew the recipe had been taken off the box some time ago and I’ve been asking everyone if they still had it, to no avail. THANK YOU
When I was first married (1965) I purchased two Bisquick recipe books. You can often still find these in antique stores and they have ALL the old Bisquick recipes. This one for coffee cake is still a family favorite. I’m on Maui now for vacation and didn’t have the recipe. Thanks for saving me!
WONDERFUL
thanks so much for posting this!! I used to make this all the time for Sunday breakfast and just took for granit that the recipe would always be on the box, I am going to surprise my family this sunday, I just hope I can wait out the next 12hrs. Thanks again for the posting your a angel
I’m making this old standby for a ladies’ coffee group – 50 ladies! I made a batch tonight after finding the recipe on your site (yay!!) and I, too, remembered it to turn out a bit dry. Glad to see some good variations which will help with that, especially the addition of some sour cream. I’m trying plain yogurt instead – it’s 25 miles to the store from our summer camp & no sour cream in the ‘fridge! I bet it will be just fine with the yogurt – but I’ll let you know.
Please do put the coffee cake recipe back on the box, along with variations. It would be very popular and sell lots of Bisquick!
PLEASE- PUT THE FAMOUS RECIPE BACK ON THE BOX! IT TOOK ME 48MINUTES TO FIND IT ON THE INTERNET & ALTHOUGH I AM 58 YRS OLD, I AM NOT THAT COMPUTER CHALLENGED






PLEASE, PLEASE PUT THIS RECIPE BACK ON THE BOX. I MISS IT. ALONG WITH ANY OTHER CAKE REPICES. THANKS.
I was looking on the box for the coffee cake & discovered it was not there. Got on the internet & found it right away. What would we do without internet. Thanks for having it posted. I want to use it for company along with my Omeolets in a bag.
I love to add fruit to this recipe so had my plums all lined up in the pan when realized no recipe on the box. THANKS!
I was going to make my husband a blueberry version of this but the box was vacant of the recipe. I remember this recipe from when I was a child. I made this when I was 10 years old…and I was oh so proud. Let’s see if I can reproduce that feeling. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you! I make this every weekend!
Thank you! My friend was promised “Bisquick coffee cake” by her mom at 2:00AM at the Relay For Life. I left at 1:00 knowing I was missing out, and checked my box for the recipe as soon as I woke up! I was SO bummed it wasn’t there! Thanks for posting it! Now I can make 2 and share them with my church tomorrow morning. Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you

! I was trying to find this recipe on the box since this used to be the breakfast i made for my mom on mother’s day when i was 8 and older and wanted to make it for my fiancee and could not find it anywhere. Thank you for having it here
Yes me too. I use to make it many moons ago from the box and didnt have it anymore. Thanks so much for sharing.
My Mom passed away last year. I went to make her “peach upside-down cake” and the reciepe for the coffe cake was no longer on the box. I was so happy to find it here! Thank you
Thank you so much for putting the reciepe on-line!! I double the reciepe and add a can of apple pie filling and pour it into a rectangle cake pan and increase the baking time to about 45 minutes.
Thanks for the refresher recipe! The only difference for me is to throw in a tablespoon of instant coffee into the basic mix. Yummy!!
Hi!
I want to extend my SQL capabilities.
I red so many SQL resources and want to
get more about SQL for my occupation as db2 database manager.
What would you recommend?
Thanks,
Werutz
Love it—always have, always will. Seriously thinking of making a special grocery store run tonight, just for this. :):):)
This is very good…i could repeat all of the above…coincidently i have always doubled the streusal topping…i also add 1/3 cup of chocolate chips to the topping and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips to the mix along with a tsp of vanilla…mmmmm

Sorry me noob…
There was this guy see.
He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
A few moments later…
“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
A few moments later…
“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
A few moments later…
“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”
why does everyone keep saying the same thing? I think the lady that posted this recipe gets the idea that you all LUV coffee cake.
Thats such a weird story

I can’t believe I found this!!
Thank you from a multitude of friend’s neighbors and family who adore this recipe. I began making this in the early 70’s for my family and it was considered a real treat. I also doubled the topping.
I’ve used this recipe several times now as its very similar to how my brother makes it but this morning added another 1/2 to everything… its in the oven in a 9 in square baking dish as I type, if it doesn’t run over the top I think I’ll make it my default Sunday Morning Fix
Thanks for being at the top of the search list and so easy to find!
THIS IS THE RECIPE MY MOTHER USED WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. IT IS NO LONGER ON THE BISQUICK BOX. I TRIED IT AND HOW IT BROUGHT BACK THE MEMORIES OF THE COLD RAINY DAYS AND RUNNING HOME FOR SCHOOL TO HAVE HOT CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE CAKE.
Thanks—I was looking for this receipe today. While playing Christmas music, decorating my tree and feeling “homey” I decided to bake and this was the thing I really felt hungery for but could not locate my receipe and was so grateful to find it here on my first try. Thanks again and happy holidays.
Thank you a million times over. Now that Bisquick is available without hydrogenated oil I bought a box (first in about 20 years) Boy was I disappointed to find out that our family’s favorite Coffee Cake recipe was no longer being printed on it. I can’t begin to tell you how much your putting this recipe on the internet means to me and my family, Thanks!
Thank you so much! I just posted this to the what’s cooking forum of my friend’s website….
I used to have to make 2 of these when I was married and the inlaws came over. One to serve with coffee, and the other to be wrapped up and sent home with my then father in law so that he could have it for breakfast the next day
Wonderful, easy recipe….I think it actually rivals the old B & M Bakery in Hackensack New Jersey with their “Heavy Crumb” coffee cake
Hi This is great, but I have a few questions. Is it possible to substitute corn oil for butter or margarine. Any coffee cake recipes with corn oil and bisquick I have to prepare serve for 50 Homeless People
on limited budget The pantry has a plethoria of spices, sugar, bisquick and corn oil. I also ind Japanese Tempura Veggies very true to Japanese flavor, 2 cups bisquick, 1egg, 1/2 cup water
Batter is thin, dip celery sticks, eggplant slices, cauliflower and broccoli in mix with favorite spices and eithe These are fantastic h’orss d”ouevres and are not messy. Serve with ranch dressing Thanks to the Coffee Cake Recipe.
I was thrilled and surprised to view so many comments on this recipe. I too made it for my children and now they also make it. Put it back on the box why mess with a good thing???
Thank you so much. My mom used to make this coffee cake in the 50’s and 60’s. I have always look on the box of Bisquick but the receipe is never there. Thank you, Thank you
!
I shop at Aldi’s so I had a box of their “Bisquick” but no Bisquick recipes. Thanks for posting this!
I made this in 1963 for my new husband on our honeymoon. Today I just happened to be thinking about it, got down the box no recipe. I looked on the net and here I am Thank You very much. I loved reading all the comments,since I’m retired now time is plentiful.
I have been making thie since the day it showed up on the box. I some times add apples or blueberrys and than the topping.
thank you very much.
The original recipe can still be located on the Jiffy Box.
I was longing to make this all time special coffee cake and to my surprice it was not on the Bisquick Box. I have a really old Bisquick Cookbook and it was not even in there. I use to make it all the time. Thank you for putting this on the web. I will look for the Jiffy Box and also I will try the Heart Healthy recipe too.
Its stupid they took this off the box…. My dad is thankful that you had it posted!! I cant believe you cant even find it on the Bisquick website!
I agreee with all the above and would just like to add one variation to the recipe that I love – after putting the batter and streusel topping in the pan, I add several dollops of apple sauce (I prefer “chunky style”). It ends up cooking into the cake and is really delicious!
WHY? do I need to copy all the ‘comments’, 39 pages, just to get the recipe. Sure seems like a waste of paper and ink. Admit I am new to computers….is there an easier way.
You don’t need to copy the comments. You can highlight the recipe, then go to print and choose the option that says “Print Selection” or something like that. Then it only prints what you highlighted. Or you could copy the recipe into a word document and print it that way.
It is ridiculous to have to print all these comments. I tried to highlight only the recipe and it still gave me all 39 pages. Glad to have the recipe….........but really. Is someone trying to sell their product here?
I haven’t made coffee cake in years. When I looked on the Bisquick box, I was disappointed that the recipe was not there. Then, I found this site and used this recipe to make a delicious coffee cake. Perfect! thanks so much.
Thanks so much! I cant believe they took this recipe off of the box!
what a shock to not see this on the box its been there for 50 yrs. thanks to whomever put this here.
I couldn’t believe this old stand-by was gone. We have so many house guests and I just expected it to be on the box as usual. When it wasn’t I had to go to plan “B”. That was quite a while ago. I have looked everywhere for this recipe and asked a lot of people if they ever copied it. I am so glad to have it back. It is now safely in my recipe file and I plan to use it many time.
