A nostalgic recipe that is a perfect combination of moist and crunchy! This Bisquick Coffee Cake recipe is easy to whip up and will become a weekend favorite! Oh, did I mention the streusel?
Bisquick Coffee Cake
It is no secret that I absolutely LOVE breakfast foods. Over the last few years, I feel like we eat a lot more breakfast food than usual.. and sometimes we enjoy it for dinner too! Yep, breakfast for dinner… for the win!
Have you ever just woken up on a Saturday morning and craved a piece of warm coffee cake to enjoy with your cup of coffee? Please tell me I’m not alone here (haha!) Well, if you’ve had these cravings, you know what comes next. Getting up and making an all-time favorite, Bisquick Coffee Cake.
Simple Coffee Cake Recipe
Every time I make this recipe, I’m flooded with memories of when my sister and I were roomies back in the day (here in Springfield, MO). We made this coffee cake on more Saturday mornings then I can remember. It’s probably safe to say it was a weekend roomie tradition. Haha!
I actually get a little sentimental when I think about the silly things the two of us did. Late nights where we decided to whip up chocolate chip cookie dough to stand in the kitchen eating it raw by the spoonfuls as we talked about life, jobs, boys, etc.
Grabbing Chinese food on a Friday night to stay in and watch a movie. I love my sister and I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything! This post is for you, Kristine! Thanks for the memories, I hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane. Gigantic Hugs!
Ready for the recipe? This used to be on the back of the Bisquick box years ago. Thankfully I’m a recipe hoarder, so I’ve had this in my good ole’ recipe box for many year. Enjoy!

i remember making this in home ec in Jr. High!!
See, this recipe is a blast from the past… hopefully you have fond memories of Jr. High. Hugs to you friend!!!
Girl, I STILL make this coffee cake at least once a month. One of my all time faves from childhood. Sometimes I double the streussel and work it into the batter. (OMG – delish!) But most of the time, I just add a little vanilla and cinnamon to the batter for an extra punch. Now I want some! =)
Jill — this just made me smile. Maybe we need to have a coffee cake date once a month and this can be the star of the show {hee-hee}. I’ll have to give that vanilla and cinnamon a try. Hope you had a great week. Hugs.
This looks good. I normally just by a box one to make but I am going to try this!
Give it a try, girlie 🙂 You’ll love it — the whole family will! xo
Looks delicious!
Thanks so much, Erin! Hugs.
I make this cake a couple of times a year. Can’t beat it for ease and taste 🙂
Yay! It’s a great recipe — and you can’t beat the ease and taste. You hit the nail on the head, Raquel. Have a fabulous weekend.

Thanks so much for stopping by and if you did make this for dessert — I hope you loved it! Hugs.
I made this coffee cake in the early years of my marriage, but haven’t made it in a long while! I have two boxes of Bisquick in my pantry, so I think I’ll make this recipe this w/end and bring back some good memories for my husband and I. ♥
Awww, Amanda! This just made me smile. I hope you do make it soon — and make some more great memories. Hugs to you friend.
Yummy! So sweet that you have such precious memories of the time spent as a roomie with your sister. And in my neck of the woods, too. I am not far from Springfield. Great little city. (Little compared to a big city, huge compared to my tiny town). I think the absolute perfect light breakfast is coffeecake and a couple pots of coffee.
Hi Sandra! We spoke earlier today via e-mail. Springfield has such a special place in my heart. I think you might be right — coffeecake and coffee is a perfect pair for breakfast. Have a fabulous weekend. HUGS!
This looks yummy thank you for sharing 🙂

i love any kind of coffee cake! looks yummy!
Thanks, Kellie! You’re too sweet… Wish we could get better acquainted over a slice and a cup of joe 🙂
maybe they need to take a trip down memory lane on their boxes again
Thanks for posting this! My roommate used to make this for us often. I’m building a cookbook for my granddaughter, and this is a must include! It brings back good memories, and hoping to build some more. I wonder why they stopped printing it on the package?!
My son asked if I would make this coffee cake for his birthday because he loves it. Will do.
I was looking for a few ingredient breakfast cake recipe that would be quick and tasty; this one did it for me.
Next time I may add a little more sugar but as the recipe stands, it is a delicious cake: not heavy and perfect with that first cup of coffee.
I was able to tip-toe around the apartment while everyone was sleeping (at 5:30 AM) and I put this together without making a sound!!! My little girl woke up and squealed, “Daddy when did you make THIS???” (LOL!!)
I just put in Bisquick coffee cake and there you were. Thank you so much for being there as I have long since lost the recipe. I will now make up for lost time. Thanks again for being there and sharing, Jeanie
Can’t wait to make this. Thank You!
