Ingredients

Cake Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (240 g) Bisquick baking mix
  • ⅔ cup (160 ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup (90 g) Bisquick baking mix
  • ¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or 170°C if you have a fan oven. Grease an 9-inch (approx 22 cm) square baking pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cake ingredients: Bisquick baking mix, milk, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer until well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together Bisquick mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Try other flavors: Cinnamon is the classic spice used to make coffee cake, but you can try adding nutmeg, allspice, or pumpkin spice to the topping instead.
  • Use a different pan: You can bake this in an 8-inch square pan, just add a few extra minutes of baking time. a 9-inch round baking pan works well too!
  • Add a glaze: This cake is very lightly sweet. If you want some additional sweetness, consider adding a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and half and half.
  • To Store: Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
