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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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!

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.

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?

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.
