How to Make Coffee Cake with Bisquick
Gather your ingredients.
Mix the batter ingredients — Bisquick, milk, egg, sugar, and cinnamon — until smooth, then pour into a greased 9×13 pan.
For the streusel topping, combine Bisquick, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon until crumbly, then spread it over the batter and swirl.
Use cold butter for the streusel as it helps create a crumbly, buttery topping. If possible, slice it into small pieces to blend easily.
Bake until golden, check the cake with a toothpick in the center around 22 minutes. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it’s ready!
Cool briefly and serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
You can dust it with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream to make it extra special.
For a cozy pairing, serve it with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.
It also works well as a brunch treat alongside fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced spread.
Keep leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week to maintain freshness.
Ty adding ¼–½ cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can also fold in fruits like blueberries or apples for natural moisture. Covering the cake loosely while it cools helps lock in steam for added softness.
You can substitute with two 8×8-inch square pans or two 9-inch round pans, which together offer a similar volume. A 10×15-inch jelly roll pan can also work, but the cake will be thinner, so adjust the baking time accordingly. Alternatively, use an 11×7-inch pan for a slightly thicker cake, checking for doneness with a toothpick as baking times may vary.
Reheat slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a 300°F oven for a few minutes until warm. This helps refresh the cake’s moisture and texture.
Absolutely! Fresh blueberries, diced apples, or chopped pecans add extra flavor and texture. Fold them into the batter before pouring it into the pan.
