Why Do They Call It Coffee Cake?

It’s funny, the first time I offered a piece of coffee cake to my son (a notorious picky eater), he was like “yuck, I don’t want any cake that is made out of coffee”. Obviously, if you didn’t know, usually coffee cake DOES NOT have any coffee in it. The name originates from the fact that it is often served with coffee. But it would taste delicious with any drink!

Bisquick Coffee Cake Recipe

I’ve always LOVED Coffee Cake. Butter, sugar and cinnamon are all baked together into a moist breakfast treat that will get your day started off right! Now, by using Bisquick, you can make your own version of this classic coffee cake in just a couple minutes and by using ingredients that you probably already have sitting in you kitchen right now! All you’ll really need to do is mix together the Bisquick layer and then prepare the streusel topping to go on top! For step-by-step instructions, check out the recipe card below. But here’s what you’ll need to get started:

COFFEE CAKE INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

STREUSEL INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup Bisquick baking mix
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cold butter

Storing Your Coffee Cake

Once you’ve made your Bisquick Coffee cake, what is the best way to store it? You don’t NEED to refrigerate this recipe but it will probably last a bit longer if you do. At room temperature, this Coffee Cake should be good for about 3-5 days. But if you put it in the fridge, you’re probably can extend it’s lifespan to closer to a week.

Can you freeze coffee cake? Yep! You sure can! Just wrap it in freezer wrap, a freezer bag or both and it should be good in your freezer for up to 3 months. I like to freeze mine in individual pieces so that I can just take out what I need to thaw as I need it.

Notes, Tips and Variations

• Easily make this an Apple Coffee Cake by peeling and slicing up a tart green apple. Fold it into the batter before baking.
• You can also add Fresh Blueberries to make this a Blueberry Coffee Cake! If you are looking for another Blueberry Breakfast Treat, check out this Blueberry Breakfast Casserole!
• Add Nuts for some more flavor and texture! Putting some chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds into the crust on top would be delicious!
• Make sure to let this Bisquick Coffee Cake cool before trying to slice it!
• But! When serving, it’s best served a little warm! So put the coffee cake in the microwave for about 15 seconds!
• Watch out and make sure that you don’t over bake this recipe! It can get dry very quickly!
• Serve topped with Whipped Cream. Or, make your own sugar icing and drizzle it over the Coffee Cake once it has cooled.
