Lemon Coffee Cake

Lemon coffee cake is a delightful pastry that brings together the citrusy vigor of lemon with the comforting sweetness of a traditional, moist coffee cake. Its tantalizing zing and aroma arises from the incorporation of fresh lemon juice and zest, which marries harmoniously with the goodness of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. Best enjoyed at breakfast, teatime or as an afternoon snack, this cake is typically crowned with a crumbly, buttery streusel and often adorned with a drizzling of zesty lemon glaze. With undertones of light, tart citrus, this coffee cake is a refreshing twist on a classic favorite.
