Ingredients
  

For the cake

  • 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix See Note 1
  • 1 cup whole milk low fat is also fine, avoid skim milk
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar light brown sugar, dark brown sugar or white sugar all work fine
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the topping

  • 6 tbsp butter (one stick) I always prefer salted
  • 1 cup brown sugar light brown sugar or dark brown sugar both work fine
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Spray an 8x8 pan (or similar) with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchament paper. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix: In a large bowl, add Biquick baking mix. Break up any clumps. Then, add milk, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated. The batter will be a bit thinner than pancake batter. Pour the coffee cake batter into prepared pan and set aside.
  • Melt butter: Place butter in a small microwave bowl. Melt butter in the microwave in 15 second increments on 50% power until melted.
  • Make streusel topping: In the bowl with the melted butter, add brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Gently mix with a fork until medium-sized crumbs form and all of the flour is moistened.
  • Add the topping: Sprinkle streusel topping in an even layer over the top of the cake trying to cover ALL of the batter!
  • Bake: Place coffee cake in preheated oven and bake 35-40 minutes until the top and edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Serve: Serve warm OR allow to cool to room temperature if you want nice, clean slices.

Notes

Note 1: Original Bisquick Mix: Sometimes stores carry several versions but get the good old yellow box that says "Baking and Pancake Mix."
