Tips & Variations

  • For added texture, try mixing chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the streusel topping.
  • Using cold butter helps create a crumbly topping, so keep it chilled before cutting it in.
  • Swap out the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice for a seasonal twist.

Storage

Store the coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep it longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat slices gently in the microwave or oven before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of Bisquick mix?

Bisquick is a pre-mixed baking mix including leavening agents, so substituting with regular flour requires adding baking powder and salt. Using Bisquick simplifies the recipe and ensures the right texture.

What can I serve with this coffee cake?

This coffee cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also serve it with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
