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 than 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 years. Enjoy!

Yes fond memories! Rare moments when we ran outta cold cereal, mom a full time nurse and evening classes, would bake us the coffee cake, fast forward as an adult, we had a meeting and the cooks prepared breakfast, I ate the coffee cake and I could have cried, I searched for this recipe for at least 4 years, back then we didn’t have the internet, I went to libraries, my mother in law came to visit us, she prepared the Chicken and Dumplings, and I saw the pic of the coffee cake and remembered Mom always had a box of Bisquick, I found my recipe! I now make occasionally in the 35 years I’ve had this recipe, it’s no longer on the box, so now I Google the recipe. One is on the oven now.

It was not sweet and the topping was not enough for entire cake. Only two tablespoons of sugar,really?
