Cherry-Nut Coffee Cake image

This is one of my most favorite cakes that my mom used to make when I was growing up. I make this cake often as I love the almond flavor with cinnamon sugar topping and each slice is so pretty with the red cherries and nuts.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 ten inch (or less) ring cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter
1 box confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
4 eggs
1 cup milk
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup maraschino cherry, drained and chopped
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
melted butter
cinnamon
sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine butter and confectioner's sugar; cream well.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in almond extract.
  • Blend in flour mixture alternating with milk.
  • Fold in maraschino cherries and nuts.
  • Spoon batter evenly into a well-greased and floured tube pan (10" will work but better if a little smaller).
  • Bake 55 minutes.
  • Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Brush melted butter on the top of the cake and sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mixture (amount depends on how thick a cinnamon sugar mixture you'd like. I put a lot of butter on top so that I can get a nice layer of cinnamon sugar).
  • Cool 20 minutes and carefully remove from pan so as not to disturb your cinnamon sugar topping.
  • Cool completely.
