Lemon Lover’s Coffee Cake

Lemon is such a wonderful flavor. This Lemon Lover’s Coffee Cake is a yummy dessert or brunch treat you will love. My mom originally made this for us and I immediately added it to my recipe box for future use.

If you like lemon, you will love this. The lemon curd adds so much flavor so I encourage you to splurge a little bit in order to make this delicious lemon coffee cake.

Lemon Lover’s Coffee Cake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp grated lemon peel
