Milk Glaze For Cherry Streusel Coffee Cake Recipes

CHERRY-STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch tube pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
• Spoon half the batter into prepared pan. Arrange cherries in a single layer on top (but not against the pan's edge, as cherries may stick or burn). Top with the remaining batter, and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with streusel.
• Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cake cool on a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper for 10 to 15 minutes. Run a knife around edges of cakes to loosen, and unmold. Let cool on rack.
• Spoon glaze over top, letting it drip down sides. Let set for 5 minutes before serving. Cake can wrapped plastic and stored for up to 4 days.

CHERRY-STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch tube pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Spoon about half the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the cherries in a single layer on top of the batter; avoid placing any cherries against the pan's edge, as they may stick or burn if not fully encased in batter. Top with the remaining batter, making sure it is evenly distributed, and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter.
• Bake until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, and let the cake cool 10 to 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack, then reinvert (so streusel side is up), and let cool completely. Spoon the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Let the cake sit until the glaze is set, about 5 minutes, before serving. Cake can be kept at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic, for up to 4 days.
• Milk Glaze
