What Are Cooking Tools for Making Bisquick Coffee Cake?

Which Are Bisquick Coffee Cake’s Ingredients?
In this part, I will divide the ingredients into 2 parts. One is for the batter, and another one is for the topping.
For Coffee Cake
What I love about this sweet course is its simple and budget-friendly components. And, of course, there is no coffee here.
For The Topping
The topping’s ingredients are similar to the batter. But the sugar I use here is brown sugar to create a molasses taste.

How to Make A Bisquick Coffee Cake
If you are new to baking, no recipe can beat this one regarding the simplicity of making Bisquick coffee cake. With a few steps (mostly mixing ingredients), you can whip up a cake in a blink.
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
Begin making the Bisquick coffee cake by first mixing the batter ingredients well. Mix below ingredients in a large bowl.
Use a fork to mix well.
Step 2: Add Milk And Egg
Make a small hole in the middle and pour 0.66 cups of milk and 1 egg into it. Mix well with a fork or silicone spatula. Don’t worry if the mixture has several little lumps. These are actually small pieces of butter from the Bisquick baking mix.
Step 3: Prepare The Topping
For the topping, pour these into a medium bowl and mix well.
Add the chopped cold butter and rub well with your hands until you get crumbs.
Step 4: Pour The Mixture Into A Baking Tray
Turn on the oven to heat up to approximately 350°F (180°C). Take a baking tray covered with baking paper, spread half the batter, and sprinkle with half the topping. Using the silicone spatula, spread the rest of the batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining topping.
Step 5: Bake
Put the cake to bake in the already heated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Do not let it bake longer because the cake will dry out.
Step 6: Serve
Let it cool for about 10 minutes, and cut it into pieces. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar and cinnamon, and serve.
