Cherry Streusel Coffeecake
Description
This Cherry Streusel Coffeecake is a delightful treat that balances the tartness of cherry pie filling with the warmth of almond extract. The batter, thickened slightly with lemon juice for a unique texture, forms a soft cake shell around the fruit filling. Topped with a buttery, crumbly streusel mixed with sliced almonds, it offers a satisfying crunch in every bite. Perfect for weekend brunches, afternoon coffee breaks, or as a comforting dessert after a family dinner. Its easy to assemble with pantry staples and delivers a homemade feel that everyone will love.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.
-
Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Remove and set aside 1/2 cup of this crumbly mixture for the topping.
-
To the remaining flour mixture in the bowl, add the baking powder and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
-
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the evaporated milk and lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Beat in the egg and almond extract to the milk mixture until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter is moistened; do not overmix.
-
Spread about two-thirds of the batter evenly over the bottom and up the sides (about 1 inch up) of the prepared springform pan to form a shell.
-
Spoon the cherry pie filling into the center of the batter shell.
-
Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the cherry filling to cover it partially.
-
Stir the sliced almonds into the reserved crumb mixture.
-
Sprinkle the almond-streusel mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
-
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion (not the filling) comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the springform ring. Serve warm or at room temperature.
