CHERRY CREAM CHEESE COFFEE CAKE

Cherry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake image

You'll like the texture of this tender coffee cake. The sour cream pairs well with the cherries, and the crunchy almonds make a nice accent. With a sweet streusel topping, it's hard to eat only one slice. -Linda Guiles, Belvidere, New Jersey
