Cherry Almond Muffins or Coffee Cake image

I'm not sure where I originally got this recipe but I just recently tried it myself. Since the batter is more like a dough, I found it incredibly hard to layer in the muffin tins as described. Next time I'm going to use my springform pan and make a layered coffeecake instead and bake it for about 50 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield 7 jumbo muffins or 14 regular

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cold
1 egg
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, cold
1/3 cup almonds, sliced, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cherry preserves, warmed

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat the egg, sour cream and extract until smooth; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be thick).
  • Combine flour and sugar in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in almonds: set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Fill greased jumbo muffin cups half full with batter.
  • Divide cream cheese filling and preserves evenly between muffin cups; swirl gently. Cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle with topping.
  • Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
  • Editor's Note: If using regular-size muffin cups, bake for 20-25 minutes.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a huge fan of cherry muffins, but these were actually really good! The almond flavor really balances out the sweetness of the cherries.

I tried this recipe and the muffins were a bit dry. I think I may have overmixed the batter.
