Award Winning Cherry Coffee Cake

"This recipe by Marlene K in California won 1st prize in the grandparents.com *Breakfast Favorites Recipe Contest* . According to Marlene, this coffee cake is a Christmas brunch tradition for her family & a 2nd version using blueberries is also made for the 1 family member who does not care for cherries. Frankly, I think it would also work well as a lunch or dinner party dessert. :-) *Enjoy* !"

  1. What a delightful and easy coffee cake to make! I made this exactly as posted, and was rewarded with a moist and delicious dessert. The almond flavor comes through nicely and adds the perfect touch. I think it is a great complement to the cherries. The consistency of the glaze was perfect, but I think it should be added when the cake is cooler if you want a more solid coating of icing. Thanks for sharing. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
