I wasn't sure if I was going to share this new recipe I found for cherry coffee cake, because it looked a little odd when I pulled it from the oven. But it was so wonderful to eat, I just had to share it with you all.
I found this recipe for cherry coffee cake in an Iowa farm newspaper. It was very easy to mix up, but not so easy to spread in the pan. For some reason, I couldn't get the cake batter to spread on the bottom of the pan without sticking to my spatula. Also, the recipe says to spread only half the batter on the bottom of the pan, but I had to use three-fourths of the batter to cover the pan. That didn't leave much batter to spread on top. I ended up dropping the batter on top of the cherry pie filling, then swirling it. As a result, the cherry pie filling got mixed into the batter, and once baked, the cake looked an odd brown color. Thankfully, it still tasted excellent, and the photos turned out OK.
