Cherry Coffee Cake Recipe

Photo by: Taste of Home Cherry Coffee Cake Recipe

This is a perfect casual dessert—and hopefully there is a piece left over to have with a cup of tea the next morning! The recipe calls for a cake mix and yeast, which is rather unusual, but the results are wonderful.—Gail Buss, Westminster, Maryland

I've made this coffee cake a # of times and I LOVE this recipe! Today I decided to experiment & I prepared the batter and used two greased and floured 9" layer pans (foil pans). I used one can jellied cranberry sauce, 1/4 cup ground navel orange and about 1-1/2 cups fresh cranberries for the filling. I prepared the crumb topping, evenly divided the batter, filling and crumb topping and baked for 45 to 50 minutes. I thought that this could be an alternative to making one large cake! Dawn E.

I followed the recipe to a "t", and it smelled heavenly. After it sat a few hours the topping turned to "goo" .... and was too sweet to be enjoyable. We had to toss out 2/3 of the cake the next day as it was just not "enticing" enough to eat.
