A litttle while ago I made these:
and this:
And the whole house was in a blissful stupor of sugar while those were sitting on the kitchen counter. And then — sadness! — they were gone. I did still have about half a jar of the most awesomely scrumptious jam on earth though.
And I started thinking — what if the jam cookies and the crumb cake got married and had a baby?
Okay, so maybe it wouldn’t be THAT adorable, but it sure would taste good, right? Oh yes, right. This easy coffee cake not only has the amazing sour cherry jam in it, but also a swirl of apricot – mainly because that was what was lurking in the jam area of my fridge. You should fee free to experiment away with the jam of your choice. I made it early on a Sunday morning, and it is amazing what the aroma of baking jam cake can do in the way of getting teenagers out of their beds and dogs off of the couch. Not that dogs have any shot at jam cake. Kibble, anyone?

mmm. fluffy cake, pockets of sweet, fruity jam, and a streusel topping. this is all kinds of awesome (and a good-looking offspring of cookies and cake at that!).
oooh…this sounds simple and delicious. i love desserts that use jam. those swirls must've been great! a lovely variation on the typical coffee cake, i think.
PERFECTION. I WILL MAKE THIS ON THIS WEEKEND. LOVELY PHOTOGRAPH.
Oh yes, I made this. On Friday. It is gone. Thankfully I made the hubby cart some off to work, otherwise I'd have scarfed the whole thing.
Best idea ever AND a good fridge cleaner recipe. Got rid of two partial jam jars!
I do love these fridge-cleaner-outer recipes — thanks for the great comments!
I my o my…I'm in love. So much so that I have just printed off this recipe and will make ASAP! A wonderful "marriage" of a recipe you have have created! Merci!!!!
I Love to eat cream a lot. Many people think the cream could help to gain weight, but where you can add light ingredients in our recipes, the cream will fit in your diet perfectly, even the cream can help you to loss weight every time that you eat.

Delicious cake! I'd like to prepare it but instead of jam I'd add mustard because the flavor is amazing and I like to eating rare things.m10m
