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.

Time 4h40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the cake:
2 1/4 teaspoons (one 1/4-ounce envelope) active dry yeast
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons plus a pinch of granulated sugar
3/4 cup warm milk (110 degrees)
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
Coarse salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for bowl, pan, and parchment
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
For the filling:
12 ounces softened cream cheese
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups pitted fresh or thawed frozen sour cherries
For the glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Sprinkle yeast and a pinch of granulated sugar over milk in a medium bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the egg, and yolk. Whisk into yeast mixture.
  • Combine flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a mixer. Add egg mixture. Beat on low speed until almost fully combined, about 30 seconds. Switch to the dough-hook attachment. Add butter. Beat until smooth, soft, and slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.

  • Make the filling: Stir together cream cheese, egg yolk, and confectioners' sugar.
  • Punch down dough. Transfer to a floured work surface. Let stand for 5 minutes. Roll out to an 18-inch square (about 1/8 inch thick). Brush edges with egg wash. Spread filling over dough. Top with cherries. Tightly roll dough like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal. Coil into a snail shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush top with egg wash.

  • Remove plastic wrap. Cut six 1/2-inch slits into top. Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, about 55 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until deeply golden, 15 to 20 minutes more (cover with foil if top gets too dark). Transfer pan to a wire rack. Let cake cool.
  • Make the glaze: Mix together confectioners' sugar and milk. Drizzle over cake. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
