Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake
"Another Pampered Chef favorite of mine. Whenever I make this, I never have leftovers. I have had people insist it must be from a bakery. I say of course it is, MINE!! The extra effort into the presentation makes all the difference!"

My mom has made this almost every year for Christmas, my whole life. I lost the recipe and tried a google search (again) and finally found it(couldn't find it last time). This is almost exactly how my mom made it and I'm so glad I finally found the recipe! I can never remember the measurements, but this is amazing! So yummy! We also use different fruit fillings!

Greeting from South Bend, Indiana (home of Notre Dame and the Studebaker). My Grandmother got me interested in cooking at a young age. On my own, I would have cooked a lot more, but cooking for one was always such a hassle. Now that I am married, my husband enjoys the home-cooked dishes. Some hobbies of mine include: scrapbooking, photography and many activites outdoors (golfing, camping, hiking and beach volleyball), surfing the internet, and browsing through cookbooks of course!
