Quick, easy to put together, and delicious. I even used the low-fat Bisquick baking mix, and this still turned out wonderful. I think that different varieties of jams and pie fillings could be used instead of the cranberry sauce to change up the flavors.

I made this a few nights ago. I used the Easy Biscuit Mixture recipe for the baking mix. I did spoon the mixture in the measuring cup. I used brown sugar in the cake because i ran out of white. I had no problem with dryness. The cake was quite moist. I did half the brown sugar and kept the cinnamon the same amount for the topping and i used half of the glaze. I didn't want an overly sweet cake. We all really enjoyed this cake.

Great way to use up leftover cranberry. My only change was to leave out the nuts (didn't have any). When I make this again, I would decrease the amount of icing - I thought the full amount was a bit much.

Based on other reviews, I added 2 T canola oil, a spoonful of sour cream, and some orange zest. I also used more than 2/3 C Cranberry sauce- almost the whole can. Very Good and so easy!!

I made this using Pamela's Gluten Free Baking & Pancake Mix. I substituted So Delicious Cultured Coconut Milk for the milk. I scattered a couple of handfulls of chocolate chips over the cranberry sauce. In the topping, I doubled the cinnamon and added some chia seeds. I skipped the glaze. The end product was very good. My husband liked it and he is not gluten intolerant.

Pretty foolproof. I substituted a bunch of stuff and it still turned out great. All I had on hand for the fruity part was some applesauce that I sweetened with a few tbsp of granulated sugar, added one small chopped apple and about 2 tsp cinnamon (def more than 2/3 c total). Dropped it onto the baking mix batter. For the streusel I used about 1/3 c granulated sugar, 1/4 c maple sugar (no brown sugar) and 2 tbsp almond butter (no nuts) with some additional cinnamon. Couldn't have been better given my substitutions. I highly recommend trying this one, with the apples it tasted like a danish...

very dense coffee cake, didn't stop me from eating the rest of the cake that my family had left over - though. Easy to make. Quick.

This was really good! I did cut back on the sugar a bit though and did not top it with glaze. It was plenty sweet enough already! I also added some cinnamon to the batter as well. I will surely be making this again!

My family really liked this. I was concerned after reading some of the reviews about it being dry. So, I added 1 Tbsp. of canola oil to the batter just in case. I may add 2 Tbsp. next time. I doctored this up by adding a cream cheese mixture. In a food processor, I mixed 1-8 oz. pkg. of fat free cream cheese, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 1 Tbsp. of sugar. Dropped it by tablespoons onto the batter after dropping on the cranberry sauce. Hint: when making the glaze, use clear vanilla extract. I used imitation vanilla and ended up with some brown goo. I also wonder if adding 2 Tbsp. of milk was way too much. It was so runny. Next time I will use only 2 tsp. of milk.

This was so dry and bland. A huge let-down for my Christmas breakfast. I used whole berry sauce instead of the jellied stuff. I even added half a cup of sour cream to it but it still was dry. Maybe some added fat would help. The ratio of cake to cranberry is way off. Too much dry cake.
