Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 unit large egg

• 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Cut in 0.5 cup of softened butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together 0.75 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 7

Pour the 21-ounce can of cherry pie filling over the batter, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 8

To prepare the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cup of flour, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 9

Drizzle 0.25 cup of melted butter over the streusel mixture and mix with a fork until crumbly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cherry pie filling in the pan.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (avoid testing through the cherry layer).

Step 12

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
