Enjoy a bite of springtime with this amazing lemon foldover coffee cake.Lemon Foldover Coffee Cake

I am a sucker for any recipe that has lemon in the name!  A few weeks ago I was craving a little sunshine and springtime on a dreary, rainy Pacific NW day and I came across this recipe for Lemon Foldover Coffee Cake and I just couldn’t help myself.  I figured it was the perfect way to bring a little sunshine into the day and besides that I had a jar of lemon curd on my self just begging to be used.  I gave you fair warning earlier this week that lemon season is here.  If you missed the yummy Lemon Poppyseed Cookies I shared earlier this week – check them out!

Lemon Foldover Coffee Cake

You know this is a good recipe because after my husband tasted it, he made me promise not to give it all away.  He loved it and I loved it!  I did share some because I knew we would eat the entire thing if I didn’t!    Besides being delicious they are fun to make too.  It is made with a yeast based dough so if you are scared of yeast and need some tips for working yeast check out this post.

After your dough has risen roll it out on a floured surface to a 18 x 12 inch rectangle and cut into eighteen 4 x 3 rectangles. Add a teaspoon of lemon curd onto the center of each rectangle.

    I’d like to pin your recipes to pinterest, but most of the time they don’t go through. Not sure why.
