    Sour Cherry Cobbler Coffee Cake

    Grab a fork and dig into this luscious Sour Cherry Cobbler Coffee Cake recipe!   Pssst...I'm infatuated with yummy coffee cakes for breakfast and afternoon snacking!.  Are you like me?  Drawn in like a butterfly to the flame?

    And I was thinking...who isn't happy when they hear someone has coffee cake and they offer to share  it with you?  It's like the best thing ever and kick-starts the day off on a happy note for sure.  Happy Day -- Woohoo!

    Remember what I said about grabbing a fork?  Enjoy savoring just the right balance of the red tart cherries, resembling a cherry cobbler inside coffee cake and topped with a buttery, cinnamon crumb topping, with a vanilla creme glaze on top!

    So, pour yourself a cup of ambition or as some would say "coffee"...although you won't need much ambition at this point and get ready to indulge.

    Perfect sweet and sour fruity brunch or breakfast sweet side and of course there's snacking time and tea-time!

    About Cherries

    I personally like to use frozen cherries or berries a lot of times, because you get the excess cherry juice after they have thawed, and you don't get that from fresh fruit, unless you macerate them or cook them down, which is an additional step if you want juice.

    You can use the the cherry juice to incorporate into sauces, syrups, glazes, flavoring and frostings, etc. Check out Williams Sonoma's "All About Cherries" article for more information about selecting, storing and preparing them and Choosecherries.com too.

    But depending on the recipe, sometimes I prefer fresh berries, but either one will work for this coffee cake!

    sour cherry coffee cake

    Don't be limited by just cherries!  Feel free to substitute any fresh or frozen fruit, with something more seasonable or convenient for you.  Especially, if cherries aren't your thing or you don't have them on hand, but you want to make it now!  or sooner than later!  So worth it!!

    If you love sweet and sour desserts, may I suggest this Red Tart Cherry Crumble Pie, this OMG Apple Crumb Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, these Best Lemon Bars and these Awesome Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Bars.

      That is wonderful to hear Lunette! I am so happy it worked out for you and you're having it for Christmas breakfast too! Makes my day!

      I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a recipe for coffee cake using whole cherries and not cherry pie filling. Thank you for posting this one. I make it today on a cold fall morning using frozen cherries. Even my husband who is very strict about eating anything with sugar in it had two pieces. I guess we needed something sweet, delicious and cheery. I substituted sour cream for the yogurt, but it is the only change I made. I think I will serve this for Christmas breakfast this year.

      The Sour Cherry Cobbler Coffee Cake turned out great! It was the right combination of sweet and tart!

      My husband and I enjoyed this. The cake is very tender and the amount of fruit was just right.
      I only had vanilla yogurt which worked fine; I did add a smidge of almond extract as I like almond with cherry.
      I had frozen cherries which I thawed in the refrigerator overnight; tossed with a little flour before adding to the batter.
      And, because my husband has diabetes, I chose to use half as much streusel and only a little glaze. For us, that was plenty.

      I set this up the night before by making the streusel and storing in the refrigerator overnight. I combined the wet ingredients in a larger covered container in the refrigerator and stored them overnight; removed while oven was preheating. I stored the combined dry ingredients in a covered container on the counter. Whisked wet ingredients, added dry and proceeded with the recipe as written. It made getting it into the oven for a warm coffee cake very quick.

      My family thought this sour cherry coffee cake was divine! Mine did not rise quite as much as your picture. I used thawed frozen cherries and they had some accumulated juice from thawing. Could this additional liquid affect the height? It was still delicious, and A light coffee cake. I bought a special 9” pan just to make these and I will certainly put this pan to use with this recipe! I am looking forward to Baking more great recipes from your site.

      When it comes to a "coffe cake recipe", I keep forgetting it's only the name, and I always start searching coffee as the actual ingredient haha. With or without coffee, this cake looks and sounds fantastic! I'm a huge fan of sour cherries, and they're perfectly balanced out with this sweet glaze. Excellent!
