CHERRY STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE
A great coffee cake that tastes as good as it looks. This cake has been a real crowd pleaser at our Sunday morning coffee hour. There are no leftovers when serving this one. I got this recipe from a friend who not only has great recipes but shares them!

Steps:
- In a large bowl make crumb mix: 2 1/4 cups flour 3/4 cup white sugar; Whisk together to mix.
- Cut in: 3/4 cup butter or margarine. Mix until crumbly.
- REMOVE 1/2 cup of crumb mix and set aside to sprinkle on top.
- To remainder of crumb mix add: 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Combine: 1 beaten egg and 3/4 cup buttermilk or sour milk.
- Add to dry crumb mix and stir until just moistened.
- Spread 2/3 of batter over bottom and part way up the side of a greased 9 inch spring form pan or a well greased bundt pan. I favor the spring form pan when serving this as dessert.
- Spoon Cherry pie filler over batter.
- Drop spoonfuls of remaining batter over filling.
- (I found 1 cup of batter for the third is about right) Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of reserved crumb mix.
- Bake 350 for 50-55 minutes.
BROWN BUTTER CHERRY COFFEE CAKE
This colorful, fruity coffee cake is the perfect treat for a family brunch. You may be surprised to see sour cream in the recipe, but it's one of my favorite baking ingredients for keeping cake extra tender and adding a pleasant tang. This recipe also uses brown butter; when you melt butter until golden brown, it becomes nutty and toasty, deepening the flavor of baked goods. Freeze-dried and roasted cherries counter the cake's richness by offering a burst of tartness with every bite.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the cherry-almond streusel: Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the melted butter is golden brown and smells nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl and place in the freezer to cool and solidify, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Pulse the almonds and freeze-dried cherries in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment until medium ground (not too fine!). Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture and set aside for garnish.
- Add the almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt to the food processor and pulse again to combine. Spoon in the chilled brown butter and pulse until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbles. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the cherry cake: Place the cherries on the parchment-lined baking sheet and roast just until they soften and begin to release juice, 9 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the cherries from the oven and lower the temperature to 350 degrees F. Allow the cherries to cool to room temperature. Cut the cherries into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside (about 1 1/2 cups chopped).
- Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with baking spray.
- Whisk together the eggs, sour cream and almond extract in a large bowl until pale yellow and combined.
- Add the all-purpose flour, sugar, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until a thick batter forms, 1 to 2 minutes. Place half of the batter into the springform pan. Top with half of the cooled cherries. Top with remaining half of the cake batter, then the remaining cherries and then the Almond-Cherry Streusel.
- Bake until the streusel begins to brown, the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour.
- Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool for another 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons ground cherries and almonds. Slice and serve.
CHERRY-STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch tube pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Spoon about half the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the cherries in a single layer on top of the batter; avoid placing any cherries against the pan's edge, as they may stick or burn if not fully encased in batter. Top with the remaining batter, making sure it is evenly distributed, and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, and let the cake cool 10 to 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack, then reinvert (so streusel side is up), and let cool completely. Spoon the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Let the cake sit until the glaze is set, about 5 minutes, before serving. Cake can be kept at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic, for up to 4 days.
- Milk Glaze
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk until completely smooth. Immediately drizzle glaze over cake.
- Coffee-Cake how-to
- Half the batter is topped with a layer of sour cherries. Then the remaining batter is poured over the top and sprinkled with streusel.
CHERRY STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE
This is one of my family's favorite coffeecakes. The original recipe called for 3/4 cup evaporate milk with 1 Tbls. lemon juice in it and it was very good. However, using the sour cream and milk makes it even better. It is so moist and tender and delicious you will have to eat seconds! Works well for company or to give as a gift too. I always prepare it on Saturday night for Sunday morning. Just cover lightly with a towel.
