Cherry Coffeecake

Cherries and brown sugar combine to create a delicious and sweet treat for breakfast or brunch.

Serves: 12


	Ingredients Topping: 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened Batter: 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp bkg powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 Tbsp butter or margarine 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk 1 (21 oz) can cherry filling and topping

Method
For topping: combine sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl; mix well. Cut in butter to make a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

For batter: combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and milk; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; batter will be lumpy. Spread half the batter into a lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Spoon cherry filling evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter. Sprinkle reserved topping over batter.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
