Bisquick™ Coffee Cake
Coffee cake is one of the great mysteries of the culinary world. It doesn’t have any coffee in it, nor is the cake really the best part – you just want to eat the streusel and nothing else (or is is just me?)
However, this recipe uses Bisquick to make the actual cake part of coffee cake super easy to make, requiring basically no measuring or effort to get right.
It means that you’ll be eating the tasty cinnamon streusel topping that much faster as well.

Make sure you look at the recipe card at the very bottom for the exact amounts, as there are a few fiddly ingredients here.

How To Make Your Coffee Cake Last
If you managed to possess some restraint and avoided eating all of your coffee cake as soon as it was cool, then you might want to figure out how to make it last.
Unfortunately, just like pretty much any cake ever made, this coffee cake tends to dry out really fast.
This is best prepared fresh and made for breakfast. The streusel can dry out a bit if not eaten within a few hours, which can really ruin the texture.
However, you could always freeze the cooked coffee cakes in an airtight, freezer-safe container and bake them again fresh when you want them.
As long as you cook them at a pretty low oven, something like 300 Fahrenheit, they should reheat slowly without drying out too much.
How To Really Make This Coffee Cake Your Own
This recipe is a little bit different from the classic Bisquick version, as it includes vanilla extract for flavor, a bit more milk for moisture, and literally doubles the streusel topping because streusel is really the only reason anyone even eats coffee cake in the first place.
However, you can definitely still work on customizing it yourself as well. Play around with the seasonings and spices, or alter the liquid quantities a bit to create a different texture, depending on how you like your coffee cake.
You could even sub some of the milk for some cooled, fresh coffee instead, giving the name “coffee cake” a whole new meaning!
