When we first got married, I received a small Bisquick recipes magazine at a bridal shower. The pages were filled with comfort food faves and good “beginner” recipes for this new wife. To this day, hubs still loves one of those recipes. Of course, I had to tweak it a bit (he likes a little more topping to cake ratio). So below you will find my modified, yet easy, Streusel Coffee Cake recipe. Let me know if you like it as is- or make a modification of your own.
And as you can see from the pics… This is the recipe that I first discovered my kitchen hack for cutting in butter. That cheese grater really does make it easier to “cut in” the butter for the streusel topping.

I was admiring your castle plate you coffee cake is being served on and wondering if you want more. I have 6 dinner plates, 4 saucers, 8 coffee cups, 4 bread plates, 3 bowls, a serving platter and vegetable serving bowl. Let me know.
HA! I love that you noticed the plates. These were the plates we used when I was a kid and my mom gave them to me a few years into our marriage. I definitely don’t have a full set anymore… so maybe I will take you up on that. LOL! 😉
