Cherry Streusel Coffee Cake

July 23, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments


Hello! I hope you are off to a great morning! How was your weekend? Relaxing, busy, filled with visitors and fun times? Mine was busy, but relaxing. In between a little work, a little play and doing a few things around the house I baked this Cherry Streusel Coffee Cake. 




I love cherries, and have been known to eat a couple of pounds of them in a day… sad but true. What can I say, I REALLY love them! Unfortunately I had so many at the house I actually needed to find a recipe to try to use some of them, and of course I turned to Martha Stewart. 




This cake is scrumptious, it is moist, with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, which I think compliments the tart cherries. The streusel topping is crunchy and buttery. The recipe is easy to follow and makes a generous amount of topping which I really like because so many recipes do not make enough.  


You will love this with a cup of coffee,  a great book or the morning blogs or perhaps to make and to serve to overnight guests.  I will be making a few of these to give to friends at the holidays. 





Cherry Streusel Coffee Cake

adapted from Martha Stewart

 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 1 teaspoon baking powder
 1 teaspoon baking soda
 1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon
 1 cup sugar
 2 large eggs
 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
 1 cup sour cream
 11/2 cup fresh pitted and chop[ed cherries or frozen cherries, thawed and drained well





Streusel:

 ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
 3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
 Generous ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature


Milk glaze:


 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
 2 tablespoons milk


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter and flour a 9-inch tube pan and set aside. (Both regular and removable-bottom pans can be used.) In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt; set aside.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour. Beat until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

3. Spoon about half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange cherries in a single layer; avoid placing any cherries against the pans edge, as they may stick or burn if not fully encased in batter. Top with remaining batter, making sure it is evenly distributed, and smooth with an offset spatula.

4. Make the streusel by combining flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until large, moist clumps form. Sprinkle evenly over top of cake.

5. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and let cake cool 10 to 15 minutes. Invert cake onto rack and re-invert so streusel side is up; cool completely. Combine powdered sugar and milk, and spoon glaze over cake, letting it drip down sides. Let cake sit until glaze is set, about 5 minutes, before serving. The cake can be kept at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic, for up to 4 days.





As I always ask, do come back and let me know if you make this delicious cake. I want to know if you adapted the recipe to suit your taste, or if you made it the way it is and what you think?





Do you have some great coffee cake recipes? I would love to hear about them, leave me a comment and a link and I will put the links here on the post for all to see. I know that I am always looking for new recipes as I am sure you are. 



Have a great day!

    Good Morning to you Elizabeth
    We have just had a lovely first weekend here in Brittany, the sun is shining and we're managing to eat most f our meals outside.
    Coffee cakes are not really baked in England, something that I think I need to remedy, your cherry cake looks so scrumptious. I don't have any cake pans here, but if I see a suitable one I may be tempted to bake this.

    Are you trying to make me fat Elizabeth? Because I keep trying your recipes and if I don't stop I won't get through the door! I made your blueberry coffee cake exactly as written and next time will change one or two things, it's how I cook. But it was FABULOUS! I can't wait to try your brownie cookies!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
