What better way to welcome the weekend than this moist, delicious coffee cake for breakfast or brunch. The coffee cake is prepared as an upside-down cake and then generously drizzled with a very simple cream cheese glaze. You can use fresh cherries if they are in season or simply use frozen as I did here. The moist buttery cake is so delicious when combined with the sweet cherries and luscious cream cheese glaze. A cake this good shouldn’t be limited to brunch though, I think it would make a spectacular dessert at any great home cooked meal.
Grease and flour a 10 inch cake pan or tube pan very well and preheat oven to 355 degrees F.
Toss together:1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp corn starch
Sprinkle the mixture over:3 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
Toss together well and spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
To prepare the cake batter begin by sifting together
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together at high speed until very foamy
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tbsp vanilla extract
In a large measuring cup melt
1/2 cup butter, then mix in
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Slowly add this butter and oil mixture to the egg and sugar mixture as it continues to beat.
Fold in the dry ingredients alternately with
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze
2 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 a standard Philadelphia brand block)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2-3 tsp milk
Beat all ingredients together very well in an electric mixer until very smooth. Add more or less milk to get the glaze to the proper consistency which should be relatively thick but not quite pourable. Spoon the glaze into a piping bag and drizzle over the cake. ( A Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off will work just as well.)Notes
