I started cooking at age 13 when my brother, sister and I moved from an orphanage into a house with 13 rooms and 10 people. My sister and I became the household cooks. To this day, I like to cook but hate washing the dishes!

  • Fruit Filled Coffee Cake

    It starts with a box cake, but when you add sour cream, a little cherry pie filling, and some toasted almond glaze, this recipe is out of this world!

This is a lovely cake to serve for breakfast or brunch. The next time I make it I will double the pie filling because I love cherries.

Just like Mom used to make! I made a couple of changes to the recipe. First, I used a 13x9x2 and didn't use all the batter (to adjust for pan size). Secondly I used a can of pie filling that contained "extra" cherries. This was a delicious coffee cake and I am adding it to my family's favorites :)

I thought it was a bit dry. Maybe I baked it too long, when I looked at it at 40 min. it was still pretty pale. I think I would like it with 2 cans of pie filling.
