I think it's a little bit of both! I've never made a cake like this before and I love that! I love making something new, finding a terrific recipe and making it for the first time. To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.
This recipe came from RecipeZaar and was posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns) . This wasn't hard at all. It wasn't even time consuming. This is a Cherry Streusel Coffeecake that I made it in a 9 inch spring form pan. It was easy and fantastic, I made this for my husband because he loves all things cherry. He loved it even with the crushed almonds in the streusel topping! I've taken lots of pictures so lets get started!
I made the dough up which was very soft and sticky. I had to put 2/3 of the dough into a spring form pan and take it up the sides of the pan an inch. This got kinda tricky cause the dough was so sticky so I just continually coated my fingers with flour to accomplish this.
After the dough was in the pan I put the cherry pie filling on top of it and put the other 1/3 of the dough that was left on top, using a small spoon I dropped the dough on top of the filling covering the top.
After the dough was on top of the cherry pie filling I sprinkled the streusel topping evenly over the top.
Look how easy this was! Now all we have to do is bake it.
It came out perfect! This was a little to hard to get off the bottom of the spring form pan so I just left it there. This is all that's left of the cake! I hope you try this, it was fantastic!
