Fruit-Filled Coffee Cake

I took this recipe from this blog Delicious Dishes
I added about a 1/2 a tsp extra of cinnamon. I forgot that I didn't have powdered sugar so no frosting, but it still tasted great.


This recipe is another from the Kraft Food and Family Magazine. You can find it here. It was so simple and so tasty. Next time I’m going to try blueberry. Yum!

Fruit-Filled Coffee Cake

1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix (I tried this again with lemon cake mix - and it was amazing!)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup Breakstone’s or Knudsen Sour Cream
3 eggs
¼ cup water

1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

½ cup Planters Sliced Almonds, toasted*
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ T milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat first 5 ingredients with mixer until well blended. Pour into greased and floured 13x9 pan; top with spoonfuls of pie filling.

Bake 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; sprinkle with nuts. Cool 10 minutes.

Mix sugar and milk; drizzle over cake. Cool completely.

Note: If glaze is too thick, add milk by teaspoonfuls until thin enough to drizzle.

* We did not use the almonds because the cake was for a lot of people and not everyone likes them.

German Pancakes

½ cup Butter
6 Eggs
1 tsp Salt
1 cup Flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter and then pour into a 9x13 pan. Place pan in the refrigerator until the butter hardens. In a bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients. Then pour on top of butter. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Note: Do not place on top rack because it will bubble and foam more than a few inches.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 Cup of the batter for each crepe. Tilt the pan in a circular motion so batter is evenly spread.
