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 (firm)
Mix all ingredients in small bowl until crumbly. Cutting them with a knife and fork helps separate 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
here’s just copy and paste the below for all those that don’t know how to copy/paste from a website:

Sorry for the time away. I’ve updated the ‘Print this post’ function so now clicking that link will give you a nicely formatted recipe without all the comments. Enjoy1
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER. I USED TO MAKE IT 20 YEARS AGO ALL THE TIME. ITS THE BEST AND THE DOUBLE TOPPING IS A MUST.
OMG, THANK YOU so very much for having the receipe… I had forgot exactly how to make this and it was ALWAYS a family pleaser.. Thank you again

I have been having this coffee cake for fifty year’s, my mother made it for my Birthay ,since I was five, it became a tradition, ever since, I love chocolate cake, but this coffee cake by Bisquick its the tops. MRS> JOAN LEE
Thank you. I was having a craving tonight, checked the box and could not believe that this recipe was no longer there. I am so glad that someone else like this easy to make coffee cake.
@Diana
Just put your cursor at the begining and right click and drag down to highlight the recipe, left click, go to copy and right click. Open MS Word and paste the recipe. Then print. Or open an email and past it in the body and send it to yourself. You only get what you highlite. Jerry
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.
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!)
I too was unhappy when I grabbed my box of bisquick and didnt see the recipe. Thank you so much for posting it here. It only took a sec to find it.
Thank you Thank you and Thank you again.
Thank you so much! I was going to make it for my husband, but like so many others, I was surprised to not find it on the box. My mother made this for us when we were children (I am now 53) and I can still remember the smell throughout our home. Waking up and smelling it baking meant mother did not work that day and would be home with all of us (5).
Does this coffee cake recipe come out as well with the heart healthy Bisquick?
Can this recipe be used in a bunt pan? I am making it for a Moms group and need to have enough for 30 people or so.
@Amy
Every time I try this in a pan different from my round cake pan things change. There isn’t a reason you couldn’t make this in a bunt pan, but when I need to serve more than the family like for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade next week, I just make multiple.
Thank You so much for so many wonderful recipes over the years. After bring-up six children
this year for Thanksgiving it is just my husband and myself, so back to your Betty Crocker Bisquick coffee for our morning coffee and parade. Thank You again, and my God Bless.
I,m sooooo glad I found this recipe,I just put it in the oven. I use to make this when my kids were young. I was upset when it wasn’t on the box. I donate to a sharing center and bought the bisquick mix instaad of pancake mix,I figured the family would get more out of a box of bisquick than a box of pancake mix but when I saw the coffee cake recipe wasn’t on there I was a little sad.
Like everyone else, it seems, I’ve been wanting this recipe for a long time. It’s always been a favorite, and I couldn’t even find it on the website. Thanks for posting it!
Thank you so much for this receipe. My new bisquick box doesn’t have this receipe on it, and that is what I was hungry for this morning. I love this computer and being able to get all this with just a “click of the mouse”.
Thank you
My Aunt used to make this for me, my brother, and three cousins 30 years ago…. we loved it. She would serve it to us hot out of the oven and put cold applesauce on top of our slice…. YUM!! Such good memories that I want my son to have as well. Thank you for publishing this recipe and now I can share it with my son… 
Thank you for posting the recipe
@Ann Hodge
This recipe is a very short one…umm have you thought of just handwriting it down? would save you from 39 pages you don’t want.
Thank you sooo much for putting this on the web. I remember as a child my mom making it all the time. I wanted to make it for my kids last night, much to my surprise it was not on the box. I’m so glad I found it. Now my kids can enjoy it as much as I did as a kid. Thanks
My dad used to make this recipe, and I’ve been missing him a lot lately. Thanks so much for posting it! It’s just the comfort food we need on a snowed-in winter afternoon. —Lydia
You should never have taken that recipe off the box, it’s an oldie but goody.
thank you for haveing this recipe on the website but try mabye squeezing it on the box for people who do not have access to a computer..
Brother, I can’t believe, like the rest of you that BISQUICK took their coffee cake recipe off the box. Thank goodness that my daughter has a pc so I could get the recipe. DOESN’T BISQUICK know that some seniors and others don’t have or can’t afford to have a PC? All my life I love to cooked, baked and I have worked two jobs to raise a family. A pc is luxury….........Joanie
I decided to make this coffee cake for a breakfast at my office. I was so disappointed that the original bisquick coffeecake recipe is no longer available and not on the Bisquick website! Horrors! Thanks for the recipe which I am printing and putting in my recipe box!
This was a family favorite and, I too, doubled the streusel topping. Now my son, over seas with the government, wants it so I sent him the link to this site. Thanks for posting this.
Actually, I just bought one of those small recipe books that you find at the checkout counter in the supermarket. This booklet is the Bisquick recipe cards booklet. You will find the recipe in there exactly how it is written above except the streusel has not been doubled. Or maybe trying Bettycrocker.com would help. The recipe is titled “Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake”. It is the exact recipe you are all talking about.
Why did you take the velvet crumb cake recipe of the box, it was my favorite for years. Please put it back on the box
