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.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries are the best choice for this coffee cake, as they have a bright, tart flavor that complements the sweet streusel topping.
- Pit the cherries: Before using the cherries, be sure to pit them. This can be done with a cherry pitter or by using a knife to cut around the pit.
- Make the streusel topping ahead of time: The streusel topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to prepare the coffee cake when you're ready to serve it.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the coffee cake is cooked through.
Conclusion:
This cherry streusel coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet cherries, crunchy streusel topping, and moist coffee cake is sure to please everyone. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit.
