Bb Bourbon Cherry Coffee Cake With Pecan Streusel Food

CHERRY-STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch tube pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
• Spoon half the batter into prepared pan. Arrange cherries in a single layer on top (but not against the pan's edge, as cherries may stick or burn). Top with the remaining batter, and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with streusel.
• Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cake cool on a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper for 10 to 15 minutes. Run a knife around edges of cakes to loosen, and unmold. Let cool on rack.
• Spoon glaze over top, letting it drip down sides. Let set for 5 minutes before serving. Cake can wrapped plastic and stored for up to 4 days.

CHERRY STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl.
• Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
• Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture.
• Add baking powder and baking soda to the remaining flour mixture.
• Put approximately 1/2 cup of sour cream (I use Breakstone Fat Free) in a 'liquid' measuring cup.
• Add enough milk to make 3/4 cup.
• Blend together well and add to dry ingredients along with beaten egg and extract; stir just until moistened.
• Spread 2/3 of the batter over bottom and about 1 inch up the side of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form a shell.
• Spread pie filling in shell.
• Drop small spoonfuls of remaining batter over pie filling.
• Stir almonds into reserved crumb mixture.
• Sprinkle evenly over cake.
• Bake in 350°F oven for 50 to 55 minutes.

APPLE-BOURBON COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the bourbon and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
• Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the apple butter on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
• Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about an hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; re-invert onto a rack to cool completely.
