CHERRY ALMOND MUFFINS OR COFFEE CAKE



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.
