I agreed to write a guest post for Elaine @ Sunny Simple Life a few weeks ago, and I had technical difficulties.  {big surprise}  ;P  If you have never visited Elaine, you can do so here.  Her blog is one of my favorites!  I love her voice; she writes about all kinds of practical and fun topics.  

I have a little rectangular baker that reminds me of Elaine, and it came with a recipe for a delicious cherry crumble coffee cake.

Cherry Crumble Coffee Cake


Ingredients


Crumble:
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds (I actually used slivered almonds)
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats

Cake:
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, chopped and pitted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To make the crumble:
In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, four, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Add butter; using a pastry blender, mix well.  Add almonds and oats, mix together, and set aside.

To make the cake:
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.  Add butter; using a pastry blender, mix until ingredients resemble coarse crumbs.  In a small bowl, lightly beat egg, buttermilk, and vanilla.  Add to dry ingredients; fold until smooth.  Pour batter into buttered 8" X 10" rectangular baker.  Scatter cherries over the surface; sprinkle crumble evenly over top of cake.  Bake until cake has risen and turned golden, about fifty minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool for twenty-five minutes.  Serve warm.  Serves 8 - 10.

I hope you will bake this cake and enjoy it with your favorite coffee.  I recommend Starbucks' Caffe Verona.

Until next time...

Blessings!

  1. Lovely looking cake, just the sort the Senior Partner would enjoy so thanks for the recipe.
    I'll have to find a Starbucks substitute though, as they haven't made it out into rural Normandy yet!

  3. That just looks wonderful. My favorite coffee is Wallingford's French Vanilla, though. It would be perfect with your cake, too. ;)

  5. That baking dish goes perfect with the cherry crumble coffee cake. Cherries are my favorite fruit. That would taste so good with coffee. The checkered red forks are darling.

  12. I hadn't seen this. Was just hanging with the fam yesterday. You didn't have to mention me but that was sweet. I love Ranier cherries the best. They are all along roadside stands up in WA. Nothing like them. This looks so good and yes I love you little dish and it would love living in my kitchen but since we aren't neighbors (which we should be) I guess I won't try to borrow it.
