This lemon coffee cake is tender, moist, and simply delicious. The lemon flavor comes from the zest of two whole lemons in the cake and lemon juice in the glaze, which is complemented perfectly by the blueberries. You could definitely add a crumb topping to this coffee cake. I found that the light lemon drizzle was just enough to top the lemon cake.

Ingredients list baking powder, but directions refer to soda. When buttermilk is used both are usually used. Can you please correct?
Hi,
Sorry for the confusion – the correct ingredient is baking powder and I didn’t use any baking soda.
