Ingredients
- Cake:
- 2 cups homemade baking mix or Bisquick
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- Cream cheese layer:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square pan with baking spray. In large bowl, stir all coffee cake ingredients together except for the pie filling until well combined. Spread about two-thirds of the cake batter into the bottom of the square pan. Reserve remaining batter.
Next, make your cream cheese layer. Combine cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg until smooth, and pour into batter-lined pan. Carefully spoon pie filling evenly over cream cheese mixture.
Drop remaining batter by tablespoonfuls onto pie filling, and bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes, or until light brown.
Make your glaze while the cake is baking. Stir together glaze ingredients until it is smooth and drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm cake and sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
