Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 egg (beaten)
Streusel Topping
- 1/3 cup Bisquick mix
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cold butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan thoroughly to ensure the cake won’t stick.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of Bisquick mix, 2/3 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and the beaten egg until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan, spreading it out so it covers the bottom uniformly.
- Prepare Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/3 cup Bisquick mix, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Apply Topping: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the surface of the batter in the baking pan, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the coffee cake to cool for a few minutes in the pan before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the butter for the streusel topping is cold for the best crumbly texture.
- You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the streusel for added texture and flavor.
- Use an 8-inch pan for best results; adjust baking time slightly if using a different size.
- The cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days.
