Glazed Cherry Yeast Coffee Cake is a very tender, light cake made with, yes…yeast! This is a wonderful recipe to break the ice if you’re not an experienced yeast baker. The biggest difference you’ll see in the dough is that it’s not a dough that will hold a shape after all the flour is added to the bowl. The dough is very relaxed and pour-able which means NO KNEADING required! The recipe has two rise times, allow the dough to rise , make yeast bubbles and become double in size for each rise.

You will put 2/3 of the yeast batter into the baking pan, top it with the cherry pie filling and then spoon the remaining 1/3 batter over the filling in dollops. You’ll notice when spooning the batter over the filling that it isn’t going to cover the whole top of the cake. It’s ok, the yeast will have it’s second rise and the dough will cover more of the cake than you thought it would.

You can have so much fun with this recipe making it into different flavors simply by switching out the pie filling. The glaze can be made to fit the pie filling by adding an extract flavor of your choice to fit the fruit filling you choose. You will absolutely love how tender , light and delicious this yeast cake is. Enjoy!
