Cherry Rhubarb Coffee Cake image

I'm retired now, but when I was working I made this coffee cake for co-workers and also a men's Bible study class. I changed the original recipe from a strawberry/rhubarb combination to one with cherry, which I think gives it a richer flavor.

This coffee cake was a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add an extra egg next time.
