Bisquick Coffee Cake
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)

- 2/3 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 (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 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!
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 posting it. Why they took it off the box of Bisquick I’ll never understand as it it so good.

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!

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
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.
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 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 ;~)
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?
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.
