Cherry-Almond Coffeecake
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup cherry pie filling
Grease a bundt pan. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and
salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat
until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well. Put in the vanilla and
almond extracts.
With an electric mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture and the sour
cream, beating until smooth. Spoon half of the batter into the bundt pan. Add
half of the pie filling and half of the almonds. Spoon the remaining batter on
top, then put the rest of the pie filling and the almonds on top.
Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool.
Sprinkle with confectionery sugar and enjoy! |
