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.

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    July 10th, 2008 at 00:09 | #11

    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!

  12. Bettie
    July 10th, 2008 at 00:17 | #12

    Please do put the coffee cake recipe back on the box, along with variations. It would be very popular and sell lots of Bisquick!

    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 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! 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 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!!

    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?”

    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

    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.

  45. December 23rd, 2008 at 00:00 | #45

    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 shop at Aldi’s so I had a box of their “Bisquick” but no Bisquick recipes. Thanks for posting this!
