This Bisquick Coffee Cake is one of my favorite recipes. I’ve been making it for years and everyone loves it. It used to be on the back of the Bisquick box but they replaced it a few years ago.
I love the simplicity of the recipe! Perfect for when I need a quick homemade breakfast cake to serve.
There’s never any leftover and it makes the house smell SO good. Best when served right away, but still good with a tall glass of milk later in the day.

Tips And Tidbits About Bisquick Coffee Cake
Coffee cakes have been on the American scene for over 100 years. They probably have a German ancestry since a lot of the terminology associated with coffee cakes are German. Such as “streusel topping”.
There is no coffee in coffee cake! Well, there might have been at one time but today’s coffee cakes are usually simple cakes with spices and sometimes fruit or nuts. Almost all of them feature a streusel topping or a glaze of some kind.
