Category: Coffee Cake

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tsp grated lemon peel
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 (11 1/4 oz) jar lemon curd
Lemon Glaze (recipe follows)

Heat oven to 350. Grease rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches.

Beat sugar, butter, lemon peel, baking powder, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally (mixture will look curdled). Stir in flour. Spread in pan.

Spoon lemon curd by level tbspfuls about 3/4 inch apart onto batter. Bake 23 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes.

Drizzle Lemon Glaze over warm coffee cake. Serve warm, or let stand until cool.

Lemon glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
5 to 6 tsp lemon juice

Mix ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
