CHERRY STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE



Cherry Streusel Coffee Cake image

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.

CHERRY COFFEE CAKE



Cherry Coffee Cake image

Give your normal coffee cake a major upgrade with one simple ingredient: cherry pie filling. This recipe takes no time to whip together and requires minimal clean-up.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Dessert     Breakfast     Cake

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the Cake:
3/4 cup butter (salted, softened)
1 1/4 cups sugar (granulated)
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling
For the Streusel:
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Icing:
1/4 cup butter (salted, melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Alternatively, use a large bowl and a hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
  • Beat the eggs in, one at a time, until each is incorporated.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk until just combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl, then beat on medium-low until completely combined. Be careful to not overmix-you can stop mixing once there are just a few streaks of dry ingredients. Switch to a silicone spatula, scraping down the bowl and folding until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Spray a 9-x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Make sure to generously grease the sides as well as the bottom.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading into an even layer.
  • Pour the cherry pie filling across the top of the cake to evenly cover the top.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. With a rubber spatula or your hands, fold the ingredients together until a crumbly mixture forms.
  • Evenly distribute the streusel over the top of the cherry pie filling.
  • Bake until the streusel is browned and the cherry juices are bubbling, and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until the icing is smooth.
  • Let the cake cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Drizzle the icing all over the top of the cherry coffee cake. Slice and serve.
