So quick, easy, and delicious! I do not want it too sweet so did not use the glaze and came up w/ the Tart Sweet Syrup instead. Perfect! The dough is not overly sweet and I came up w/ the idea to add the almond extract and that adds to the cherry taste. Also added a dash of almond extract to the glaze. A yummy little dessert. You could use any flavor pie filling but we loved w/ the cherry. I was unable to take pic so using Betty Crocker photo. I think mine (w/ the cherry syrup) turned out even prettier!

How To Make cherry swirl coffee cake by betty crocker

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350 F. Grease bottom and sides of 1 (15X10x1 inch) or 1 (13x9 inch) pan or 2 (9 inch) square pans w/ coating of your choice.
  • 2
    In a large bowl (I used my Mixer bowl) stir all ingredients except cherry pie filling; beat vigorously (I used electric mixer) for 30 seconds.
  • 3
    Spread two-thirds (about 2 1/2 cups) in 1 of the larger pans or one-third (about 1 1/4 cups) in each square pan. Spread pie filling over batter. Drop remaining batter by tablespoonfuls onto pie filling.
  • 4
    Bake 20-25 minutes or until light brown. Meanwhile, make your Sweet Glaze or Tart Sweet Syrup. For Sweet Glaze: in small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over warm cake. For Tart Sweet Syrup: in measuring cup mix your cherry juice/concentrate w/ enough sugar to taste so that syrup is just slightly sweet. Pour over cake 5 minutes before done; bake another 5 minutes. Serve warm or cool. We loved it warm!
