Cherry Coffee Cake

Happy 2011 everyone!  I had a great time with my family during the Holiday vacation. I took the time off of blogging to spend more time with my family,  catch up on my reading.. I finished 3 books..yay!  I watched a lot of dvd movies with my family..we ate, ate, and ate a lot!   It wasn’t easy going back to my regular routine after all those lazy, relaxing days..but I had to, the kids are back in school and here I am back to blogging …yay, welcome back…me!  🙂

But I wasn’t able to bake a lot during my break as I was hoping because my oven exploded ( I’ll elaborate more on my next post)… I was able to make this one before that incident happened and some recipes too that I’ll share in the coming days.

This is one of the easiest coffee cake recipe that I’ve seen so I decided to give it a try; the original recipe uses fresh blueberries but I didn’t have those; I was thinking of replacing it with blueberry pie topping but all I have in my pantry was a can of cherry pie filling and that’s what I used, turned out yummy too 🙂
