Cherry Coffee Cake INGREDIENTS
Find your jelly roll pan, preheat the oven, and round up these kitchen staples so you can start baking! Just the basic ingredients used to make a cake from scratch, just in different proportions!
- Sugar
- Butter
- Baking powder
- Almond extract

SUBSTITUTIONS OR ADDITIONS (TIPS)
Use your imagination with flavors and substitute the fillings and extracts! Perhaps blueberry pie filling with lemon extract, or pumpkin pie filling with vanilla extract and some extra cinnamon for a warm spiced coffee cake? Here is how I make it with apple.
HOW TO MAKE Easy Cherry Danish
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11×15 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Beat sugar, butter, almond extract & eggs on low until mixed well.
- Stir in flour, salt, and baking powder.Β
- Spread 2/3 of the cake batter in the prepared pan. Spread pie filling evenly over the batter.
- Drop the remaining batter evenly in dollops over pie filling.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (check at about 25 minutes). The edges will be golden brown. Be sure to not over bake so is is moist.
- Mix confectioners’ sugar, milk, and salt in a small bowl to desired consistency for a glaze (sometimes I make more).
- Drizzle the glaze with a spoon over the top while still warm.
What a yummy breakfast treat!
Serving and Storage
Serve while warm, if possible. This coffee cake does reheat nicely in the microwave, so that is great! You also make the coffee cake, freeze it and bake it at a later time! After baking, this coffee cake can be stored at room temperature for several days, if covered.
