Bisquick Coffee Cake

Avoid Limp Bisquick, don't over beat.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:

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 9-inch round pan. Make Cinnamon Streusel; reserve.
  2. Stir remaining ingredients until blended.
  3. Mix in a 1/4 of the Streusel topping and spread in pan. Cover with Cinnamon Streusel.
  4. 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 (firm)

Mix all ingredients in small bowl until crumbly. Cutting them with a knife and fork helps seperate the butter.

    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. :)

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    I was also very happy to be able to find this recipe on the net so easily You REALLy should put it back on the box!
    My dad taught me how to make this when I was a young girl, when he and I would make breakfast together. So this recipe holds very good memories for me from way back.
    Thank you

    Couldn’t find “my” coffee cake recipe on the bisquick box today. I love that recipe, I’m so glad I could find it on line. We have tradition, every year on the first day of school I make my son his favorite coffee cake. Now I can bake it, although a little late, but then again this is his first day at COLLEGE I just can’t believe it, and, can’t believe I’ve make all those cakes. I love this tradition. Thanks.

    I like everyone else here is very happy to see the recipe. But can you make this in a bunt pan and put the struesel topping in first,then add the cake,so that the topping will be on top after you bake it?

    THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I can’t believe it’s not on the box anymore! My boyfriend and I were craving an old favorite, thank you!

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for publishing the recipe—I was beginning to suffer withdrawal. I just made it last week and again today. I do have a question about the crumble topping though, it doesn’t really crumble—mine just forms a mass—it’s still great, just doesn’t really crumble…

    The other Bisquick recipe I had been looking for was the Velvet Crumb Cake with broiled frosting. We used to make that one all the time, too.

  29. October 18th, 2009 at 23:33 | #29

    just wanted to say thanks for the memories…i used to bake your cinnamon coffee cake at least three a week and take them to work. everyone loved it. also baked one on the weekend for my family. so easy to bake and so good to eat. am so glad i found the recipe on line (since i had lost it) thank you so much!

    If Bisquick only knew how many of us were dumbfounded when we went into the pantry to pull out our box of Bisquick and couldn’t find the recipe on the box, they would be amazed. I was so disappointed over such a little thing! I can’t believe how much this simple recipe actually meant to me!

    Thank you for being forward thinking enough to have saved the and publishing on the web. Now, I’m going to go bake it. (After I print the recipe, of course!)

    Thank you Thank you and Thank you again.
