Lemon Coffee Cake

Lemon Coffee Cake is delicious, moist, sweet and tangy breakfast or snack cake, but also very satisfying dessert. Bursting with lemon flavor, this coffee cake is perfect spring and summer treat. You should definitely try my Blueberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake, too.

This tender and fluffy cake is super moist. It has a tart lemon curd layer in the center, cheesecake layer on top and irresistible, crunchy and buttery crumb topping!
