Biscuit Coffee Cake(Yum!)
A sweet, gooey biscuit coffee cake with cream cheese filling, cinnamon sugar coating, and a nut topping, perfect for breakfast or dessert gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Divide each biscuit in half and place a piece of cream cheese in the center of each, sealing the biscuit around the cheese.
- Melt the margarine and dip each cream cheese-filled biscuit into it, coating completely.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts together.
- Roll each butter-coated biscuit in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Arrange the coated biscuits side by side in a Bundt pan.
- Sprinkle any remaining butter and nut mixture over the top.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting half the cream cheese with a flavored variety, such as chive or garlic. You can also use butter instead of margarine for a richer taste. If you prefer a crunchier topping, swap out the chopped nuts for granola. Ensure the biscuits are sealed well around the cream cheese to prevent leakage during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the biscuit coffee cake warm, drizzled with a bit of honey or maple syrup to enhance its sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat. Consider serving alongside a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing balance or with a scoop of ice cream for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuit coffee cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place individual pieces in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of cream cheese?
Yes, you can use ricotta or mascarpone for a different flavor profile. These cheeses will melt nicely and offer a creamy texture, but keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly different from traditional cream cheese.
What can I use if I don’t have a Bundt pan?
If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can use a regular round cake pan or a loaf pan. Just ensure you adjust the baking time, as the shape may affect how evenly the cake cooks.
Is there a way to make this recipe healthier?
Absolutely! You can use whole wheat biscuits and reduce the sugar by half. Additionally, incorporating a fruit filling, such as fresh blueberries or apples, can add natural sweetness and fiber, making it a bit healthier while still delicious.
