Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, milk, granulated sugar, and egg.
Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, Bisquick baking mix, and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the streusel topping is golden brown.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Slice and serve the Bisquick Coffee Cake warm or at room temperature.

FAQs
1. Can I substitute Bisquick with homemade baking mix?
Yes, you can make your own baking mix using flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening, but using Bisquick makes this recipe quick and convenient.
2. Can I add nuts or fruits to the coffee cake?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts, or dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, can be added to the batter or streusel topping for extra flavor and texture.
3. How should I store leftover coffee cake?
Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate it for longer storage.
4. Can I freeze Bisquick Coffee Cake?
Yes, you can freeze the coffee cake either whole or in individual slices. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
5. Can I use salted butter for the streusel topping?
While unsalted butter is preferred for baking to control the amount of salt, you can use salted butter if that’s what you have on hand. Just adjust the amount of additional salt in the recipe accordingly.
