This is a wonderful coffee cake. I made it for a breakfast potluck at work, and everyone loved it. The cake was sweet and tender and the cherry topping was very festive and attractive. I added a teaspoon of almond extract to the dough along with the vanilla and sprinkled slivered almonds over the cherry filling. I drizzled a powdered sugar/amaretto glaze over the top. Thanks for the great recipe, Kree!

I really enjoyed making this recipe. It was a snap, and I felt so happy with the end result. The dough was light and flavorful (I added almond extract) and I toasted some sliced almonds to sprinkle on top .I will make this often, and try different fruits. Cherry is hard to beat though!!

I made this for a work breakfast meeting and it is so YUMMY! I also substituted butter for the margarine and my recipe also made a dough. I pressed about 3/4 in the bottom of the pan and saved the rest for the top. I added almonds over the cherries and a light glaze on top (after cooling). It is so easy and yummy. Definately a winner!

My husband is a dessert lover so I usually make a dessert once a week to keep him happy. I am so glad I found this recipe because he also loves cherries. This was so easy to put together and I wasn't covered in flour when I got through. Very moist and delicious. Thanks--Gladys

Yummy - Yummy - Yummy!!!!! My husband, who will only eat chocolate desserts, gobbled this up AND had seconds! It was very easy to make - I had everything on hand but the cherry pie filling. It could be used for a casual meal or even be dressed up for a holiday dessert. I will definatly use it again and maybe try with a berry filling!
