Canned Cherry Coffeecake 1970s Recipes

CHERRY COFFEE CAKE

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.
