Cherry Streusel Coffee Cake

A great coffee cake that tastes as good as it looks. This cake has been a real crowd pleaser at our sunday morning coffee hour. There are no leftovers when serving this one. I got this recipe from a friend who not only has great recipes but shares them!!

Steps

In a large bowl make crumb mix: 2 1 / 4 cups flour 3 / 4 cup white sugar.

Whisk together to mix.

Cut in: 3 / 4 cup butter or margarine.

Mix until crumbly.

Remove 1 / 2 cup of crumb mix and set aside to sprinkle on top.

To remainder of crumb mix add: 1 / 2 teaspoon baking powder 1 / 2 teaspoon baking soda combine: 1 beaten egg and 3 / 4 cup buttermilk or sour milk.

Add to dry crumb mix and stir until just moistened.

Spread 2 / 3 of batter over bottom and part way up the side of a greased 9 inch spring form pan or a well greased bundt pan.

I favor the spring form pan when serving this as dessert.

Spoon cherry pie filler over batter.

Drop spoonfuls of remaining batter over filling.

Sprinkle with the 1 / 2 cup of reserved crumb mix.

Bake 350 for 50-55 minutes.
