Name: Recipe: The 10-Minute Ground Cherry Coffee Cake
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar; 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; 10 tablespoons room-temperature unsalted butter, cubed; 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk soured with lemon juice or vinegar); 1 large egg; 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 2 to 3 cups ground cherries (or other berries or fruit), husks removed; 1 cup chopped pecan pieces (untoasted); 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

I have a soft spot for coffee cake. They’re easy to make, don’t involve mixers or equipment of any kind really. I happened upon a batch of ground cherries (which never happens in Kansas City) so I set to work to showcase their taste and texture without having mushy cake. What? You say you can’t find ground cherries near you? Pssh, well you’re in luck, because I have alternatives so you can still partake in this tender crumbed cake that comes together in 10 minutes!
