"This bisquick coffee cake recipe is one of my favorites. It used to be on the back of the Bisquick box, but they replaced it a few years ago. I'm posting it here not only to share it, but as a backup in case I lose my recipe card :)"

I love this recipe! I always double the topping and score it really deep or it can be a bit dry and floury tasting. I also like to mix up a simple glaze just using leftover-from-the-pot or fresh coffee and powdered sugar and then drizzle it over the top, adds a ton of flavor!

I have made this coffee cake for over 39 years......We love it. I make it just like the recipe stats except I always double the recipe for the topping......we love that topping, the more the merrier.

I made this recipe with a 21 ounce can of apple filling and I increased the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon. I cooked it for 25 minutes but it was not long enough for the addition of the filling but i did not discover it until I let it cool and ate three pieces! It was still awesome and not wanting to waste any, I reheated the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cooked it for an additional 20 minutes in 10 minute increments. That did the trick. The next time I will add 5 minute increments to the original cooking and take note. And finally, the filling added flavor, texture, and the cake was definitely not dry. I couldn't imagine it without filling, but I just have to perfect the cooking time. I hope this helps. :oD

I love the simplicity of this recipe! I've been making this for years (when I need a quick homemade breakfast cake to serve). I find the original recipe quite dry, therefore, I make the following additions to make it a delicious coffee cake. I add 2 Tablespoons of melted butter, 2 Tablespoons sour cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the batter. I double the topping (plus add approximately 2 tablespoons granulated sugar). Delish!

LOVE to slice apples and put into batter before baking..so moist and tasty..only make it this way. Other fruit like peaches may also work well...
