Amish Cherry Coffeecake

Amish Cherry Coffeecake

Amish Cherry Coffeecake is a hit in our house!

By Kevin Williams

Coffeecakes are common in Amish kitchens, especially on weekend mornings when the pace might be a little bit slower.  This recipe was in one of our books years ago and is always a favorite in this household (You can buy used copies for $10, not bad!).  I believe one time we substituted cinnamon for cherry and had just a great cinnamon-filled coffeecake using this same recipe. Coffeecakes fall in the category of breakfast breads and are a favorite in Amish kitchens with a steaming mug of coffee.  If you are looking for a good, easy coffeecake recipe, give this a try!
