WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE RECIPE:

For the cinnamon streusel:

HOW TO MAKE A CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE WITH BISQUICK?

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a 9-inch round spring-form pan or cake pan using non-stick cooking spray. Set aside
2. In a small bowl, mix the streusel ingredients together until crumbly. Set aside
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the coffee cake ingredients together until combined
4. Pour the coffee cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel mixture over top
5. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.

HOW DO YOU KEEP IT MOIST?

One of the easiest ways to keep it moist is to not overbake.

Make sure you only bake it until the top browns, so keep an eye on yours.

Another way to increase moisture is to use milk that is higher in fat. Avoid using skim milk or nut milk if possible and chose 2%.

CAN YOU FREEZE BISQUICK COFFEE CAKE?

This coffee cake freezes well, so it can be made ahead of time.

Allow the cake to cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and store it in a freezer bag. The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months.

RECIPE TIPS:

1. If possible, make sure your milk and egg are at room temperature. This helps all the ingredients combine more evenly.
2. Using a springform pan is much easier than a cake pan, as you don’t have to flip the cake to release it. If you have a springform pan available, use it!
3. This cake is best served warm. Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes prior to serving, or microwave it for 15-20 seconds to reheat it.
