I have made this coffee cake for years to serve on Christmas morning. It is absolutely delicious! While we're opening presents, it's cooking in the oven. I sometimes fix bacon or sausage and eggs to accompany it for a complete breakfast without much fuss. It's a keeper. I also like to alter the recipe by using plain yogurt and using orange zest and juice. I use orange juice in the glaze as well.

I made this to bring to an Easter brunch. I had so many positive comments, and several requests to take some home to family members. For some reason, my supermarket did not have any lemon yogurt, so I used vanilla yogurt, and added a tsp. of lemon extract. Also, since I had already zested the lemons, I used lemon juice instead of milk for the glaze. That gave it a very nice finish. Thanks for the post, I'll definitely make this again!
