This is my mom's recipe for one of the most delicious things you'll ever eat. This coffeecake is also very impressive looking - most people's reactions include "you MADE that???" Because of the striking red color from the cherry pie filling, it makes a beautiful presentation especially at Christmas, but is equally delicious and pretty on an Easter brunch buffet, or really at any time of the year!
Start by creaming together the butter and the sugar. Add eggs, one at a time,
and beat well after each addition. Next, blend in the baking powder,
vanilla,
salt and flour. Spread 2/3 of the batter onto a greased and floured jelly roll pan.
(I use my stoneware bar pan which doesn't need the greasing/flouring!) Now spread the cherry pie filling over the dough,
the drop the remaining dough by tablespoonfuls over the pie filling.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and then cool completely.
For the icing, combine the powdered sugar, milk,
melted butter
and almond extract and whisk until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the coffeecake.
Enjoy!
