Sweet and Buttery Cherry Coffee Cake

Do you have a favorite meal of the year?  Maybe it’s Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings?  A special New Years Day menu?  I’ve been saying for years that our Christmas brunch is my favorite meal of the year, but I realized recently that it may be tied with our Mother’s Day brunch.

Notice a theme?  This girl likes brunch.

Coffee Cake Anytime

This easy coffee cake is equally yummy no matter when you eat it.  The rich, buttery cake studded with sweet-tart cherries is a real treat anytime.

I made it recently to bring to a ladies group at church, but it has been on our family brunch menu more than once.  It’s really perfection when served with a cup of coffee.

Spread 2/3 of the easy batter into your pan and top with cherries (or whatever pie filling you love) then dot the rest of the batter on top.

Frost with an easy powdered sugar icing while it’s still warm and let it cool before you dig in.

 

Are you a brunch lover too?

    Thank you! Well received at bible study. I used 1/4 cup less sugar in cake and made a very small amount of icing to drizzle lightly.
