45 minWhen you need a coffee cake fast, this Bisquick shortcut delivers bakery vibes without the fuss.
Sweet applesauce keeps the crumb incredibly moist while cinnamon weaves through every layer. The real star? That buttery brown sugar streusel topping that gets all crackly and golden in the oven.
Bake it at 400°F for just 25 minutes and you’ve got a warm, fragrant cake ready to slice. Serve it straight from the pan while it’s still warm, or let it cool to room temperature for a firmer texture.
Chef Tips
- Use firm butter for the streusel so it stays crumbly, not greasy
- Don’t skip greasing the pan with butter (not just spray) for easy release
- Sweetened applesauce adds moisture; unsweetened works if you prefer less sugar
- This cake is best enjoyed the day it’s made
