Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups cherry pie filling
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for streusel)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the sour cream to the mixture and combine until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the batter, spreading it out evenly. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
Spread the remaining batter over the cherry filling, doing your best to cover it completely.
To prepare the streusel, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with coffee or tea!
