Lemon Curd Coffee Cake

I found this recipe in an old Taste of Home magazine about a year ago and gave it a try. We all loved it! It is so yummy!  I was going to make it for a women’s brunch at church earlier this month but the night before I ended up getting a migraine. The next morning I was still feeling sick to my stomach from it so I slept in and ended up making something else. Since I still had the ingredients I went ahead and made it for breakfast this morning. I doubled this recipe for our family. The recipe is from Taste of Home’s website and a link to the coffee cake is at the bottom of the recipe (their picture is much better than mine). Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
