Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9" square or 7" x 11" pan.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Soften butter and cut in to flour mixture until crumbly. A pastry cutter works well for this. Reserve 1/2 cup of mixture for topping.
Separate the eggs into two different small bowls.
Combine the 2 egg yolks, beaten and milk. Add to remaining crumb mixture and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff. Carefully and slowly fold into batter mixture.
Spread mixture into a greased baking pan or dish.
Over this mixture, evenly spread the cherry pie filling.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of crumbs.
Bake 45-55 minutes until lightly golden brown and set in the center. Let cool slightly.
Top this coffeecake with sweetened whipped cream if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
You can also substitute any other flavor of pie filling instead of the cherry in this coffee cake recipe.
