Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, combining until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the cherry pie filling gently so as not to break up the cherries.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it out to ensure an even bake.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, mix together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth to create the glaze.
- Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, letting it soak in for a few moments before slicing.
Serve this Glazed Cherry Coffee Cake warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy the wonderful medley of flavors while sharing moments with loved ones!
