How to Make Lemon Lover's Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch rectangular baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on low speed until light and fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Dollop 1 cup lemon curd onto the batter using a rounded teaspoon, spacing the dollops about ¾ inch apart.
- Bake for 23-26 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze (see below).
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
- Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
