This was a nice , easy coffee cake! A good way for me to use the cherries I bought. It's nice and moist, perfect dessert for our family dinner tonight. I had to substitute a 6 oz container of Yoplait Vanilla Yogurt for the sour cream because I didn't have quite enough sour cream on hand. That was the only change to the recipe. It was terrific!

The recipe came together very quickly. I combined the baking mix , sugar and lemon zest in a bowl and mixed. Then the beaten egg, yogurt and melted butter went into another bowl to whisk together. The cherries were cut in half, and ready to go. I mixed the wet mixture into the dry mixture just until moistened, then added the cherries. I put the batter into a greased 8 inch square pan.

The remaining cherries where placed on top of the batter and the topping sprinkled on top. This was baked at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. it was still warm when we ate it!! Fantastic!

Sweet Cherry Blondies topped with Chocolate
I still had fresh cherries to use up, so I started recipe hunting. I love recipe hunting, it's like a treasure hunt. I found this recipe on the Northwest Cherry Growers site. This is a very easy, delicious , chewy blondie. The staff at work loved them! The only change to the recipe was ...I didn't have pecans so I chopped up a semi sweet chocolate bar and used that! Fantastic!!

Paula Deen's Peach Cobbler

My daughter was having a picnic today, I had gotten peaches and didn't quit know what I was going to do with them.....
Then I started recipe searching and found Paula's Peach Cobbler, the reviews were outstanding! I added a tsp of vanilla to the batter and a little bit of cinnamon, this is a wonderful recipe!
![Photobucket](http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk276/bunny001berries/DSC02014-1-1.jpg)
I tried something different , instead of peeling the peaches, I boiled them for 3 minutes, the skins just peeled right off!! After they are peeled, they are sliced and cooked with water and sugar. Melt the butter in the dish you plan on using to bake it in, add the batter but DO NOT STIR! Spoon the peaches in and then some of the peach syrup from cooking them. Bake! Very easy , very good!!

Peach - Blueberry Pudding Cake
I've seen pudding cakes before, but not with fruit. They're usually chocolate or lemon with a little bit of sauce at the bottom of the baking dish, making it a "pudding cake" I was intrigued with the idea of a fruit pudding cake so I decided to make one. This was a very very moist cake, but not a traditional pudding cake with sauce. I asked my mom why she thought they would call it a pudding cake.......She said, well your Dad would have eaten this cake in a
bowl with a little milk and sugar on top. It really didn't clear up the pudding part of the cake for me but I enjoyed the idea that my Dad would have liked it that way. I had 3 peaches, the recipe called for 6. I decided instead of running to the store to get more peaches, I'd use the 12 oz bag of frozen blueberries up in the freezer. It worked out perfect for me.

The batter was terrific, it was very light. I spread the batter down onto a grease 13x 9 inch baking pan. I over lapped the peach slices on the batter first then distributed the berries over the peaches. I covered the pan with foil and baked at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
![... ...](http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk276/bunny001berries/DSC02470-1.jpg)
After the 45 minute baking time was up, I removed the foil from the pan and baked for another 40 minutes until it tested done, the edges were crispy the top was golden brown.
We ate this as it was and it was delicious. Then I had some with ice cream....more deliciousness!

This is the perfect time of year to highlight all that the season has to offer.
You are killing me... Everything looks AMAZING!
You make it hard to pick just one - don't you just love summer harvests?
It all looks good Bunny but I think choice #1 for me would be that pudding cake.
Happy Friday!

can you describe the texture of the cherry blondies? Soft? Moist? Dense?
Thanks you!!
These all look delicious!
Katherine the cherry blondies were, soft and , a little dense and definitely chewy! And so good with the chocolate on top! The staff at work loved them!
What beautiful and delicious desserts! I bought 4 peaches last weekend at the Farmers Market and here they sat all week. I made Paula Deen's peach cobbler this afternoon. Haven't tasted it yet, but with all the sugar and butter that's in it, I'm sure it'll be good! LOL
ALL winners, bunny. that soft cherry coffee cake is tops for me. :)
What a smorgasbord of glorious fruity desserts, Bunny! I could never choose just one, but if you twisted my arm to pick a favorite, I think I'd have to go for that cherry cake. Irresistible!
Drooling...as usual! What is your opinion on how the cobbler turned out?
It all looks so wonderful - I can't wait to any and all! Enjoy the rest of your week-end!
Charlene the cobbler is wonderful, but I'm biased , I love anything Paul makes! Take a look at the link provided for the original recipe on Food Network, the reviews are all fantastic! If you make it, let me know how you like it!
Every recipe sounds outstanding...I really cant decide so I will just have to try them all. We are going peach picking next Saturday so I will have to start with a cobbler.
There is a tendency for humans to be lured to the dark side of their natures...and dark red/black cherries are a true testament to that! Mrmm, those luscious cherries look so plump and juicy. They make the cake! ;)
I love fruit desserts. They all look fabulous.
All the desserts look delicious. I love the blondies and peach pudding cake and would love to try them!
Cherry Blondies are what I'm looking at! Sounds irresistible! I'm hoping to enjoy the fruits of summer as long as possible!
I'm not sure which one I like best. They all look great. I'm cool with anythihg made with cherries.
I've made Paula's cobbler before. It's a wonderfully easy recipe isn't it?
Oh my gosh- loving all the fruity deliciousness going on in this post. Your collages are great too!
Oh that peach cobbler looks amazing! I'm going to have to try that one! Great post you guys, everything looks fantastic!
