Fruit Swirl Coffeecake

Fruit Swirl Coffeecake

1-1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup shortening

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 eggs

3 cups flour

1 can fruit pie filling, any flavor

1 cup powdered sugar

1-2 Tablespoons milk

Add sugar, butter, shortening, baking powder, vanilla, and eggs to medium bowl.

Mix on low until blended.

Then on high for 3 minutes.

Add flour.

Mix just until combined.

Spread 2/3 of the batter into a greased 10x15" cookie sheet that has sides (also known as a jelly roll pan)

Dump on pie filling. My mom always makes cherry but I prefer apple!

Spread as best you can.

Drop remaining batter by tablespoons over top of filling.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake area comes out clean.  Cake should be golden brown.  Careful not to overcook!

Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth.  Start off with 1 tablespoon of milk and then add 1/2 tablespoon at a time until it is runny but not too runny. This particular day I only needed 1-1/2 T.

Drizzle over top of coffeecake while cake is still warm.  Cut and serve.  I prefer mine warm but it is definitely still good at room temp!

Strawberry filling is pretty delicious too!
