This coffee ring is a great way to use up leftover cherries. It's also a nice change from the usual coffee cake.

This recipe was a disaster! The coffee ring didn't rise properly and it was way too dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The coffee ring was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

This coffee ring was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
