Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg until fully combined.
Step 4
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Step 6
Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the batter in dollops, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cherry filling into the batter.
Step 7
Spread the remaining batter evenly over the first layer, then repeat the dollops and swirls with the remaining cherry pie filling.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Step 9
While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
Step 10
Drizzle the glaze over the coffee cake once it has cooled slightly. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
