Fruit Filled Coffee Cake

"I got this recipe a long time ago from a friend at a former job. I have since taken it in to meetings at work several times, with different variations on the fruit filling (I've even split the coffee cake by using two different flavors, such as apple on one side & cherry on the other). No matter what, this coffee cake ALWAYS disappears!"

directions

  • Beat together butter (or margarine) and sugar.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add other ingredients (except pie filling)& combine thoroughly.
  • Spread about 1/2 the batter in a 10x15x1" cookie sheet that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray (pan must have at least 1" sides).
  • Place pie filling on top of batter; top the pie filling with remaining 1/2 of batter, spreading it out so that most of the fruit is covered.
  • Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
  • Let cool in pan on wire rack.
  • Frost with powdered sugar icing, if desired.

  1. Everyone loved itwhen I took it to work and wanted the recipe.
     
  2. Great Recipe---My kids love it and I give them each turns picking the filling. We h ave used strawberrys and cherry's so far--next time is blueberry---------
     
  3. Wow! Just what I was looking for! The cake and filling stay elegantly separate while cooking. We used a 9x13" pan, 1 quart homemade pippin apple filling, topped with crumb topping before baking, then drizzled powdered sugar icing after cake cooled. Rave home reviews! (The real test will be how it tastes leftover tomorrow a.m. for breakfast! :-) Doubtless a winner still!) Would also be good if icing omitted and served with tiny pot of heavy cream to pour. Crumb topping: 2/3 cup flour 2/3 cup brown sugar 2/3 cup finely chopped walnuts 6 tablespoons butter Blend first three, then cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
     
  4. This was an easy to create treat. My first one didn't turn out so good. I used a square 8x8 pan and it didn't cook. Second one i used a quarter sheet pan and it baked to perfection. It wasn't to sweet and plenty moist. I'll be making this one over and over again. Thanks for this delicious and easy recipe.
     
  5. Here in Australia there is no "pie filling" so I made my own - mixed berry. I didn't realise how un cake like the batter would be, more like a biscuit or cookie consistancy. A great recipe, albeit a bit dry (it needs a glaze or melted butter on top). I made as written but did sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top just prior to baking. My DH took what was left to work today and came home with an empty container. I will make again as the family enjoyed it, thanks for posting!

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life. My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)! I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery. Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
