Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 egg yolks beaten
1/2 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

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.

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.
