"We received a lot of lemon curd from a friend from church a couple of years ago. We couldn't use it fast enough, and not wanting it to spoil, I made a coffee cake from a recipe that I found from one of my tried and true country church cookbooks. The recipe says to use a springform pan, but I prefer to use a fluted baking dish."

A special coffee cake. Serve this when you want to impress your guest(s). I didn't have any coconut on hand when making this delectable dessert but used quick-cooking oats instead... came out great. A good cake to use up leftover curd! I used a decorative bundt pan for my cake, had NO problems getting the cake out of the pan. Thanks for this great dessert!

Delicious coffee cake! I had to check, recheck, and check again, and yes, it's true: there is no sugar in the batter recipe, just vanilla yogurt for sweetness! But, when you put all the layers together, the combo is amazing. Have also made this using finely chopped nuts in place of coconut: that version was great too! I personally prefer to use the 9" springform pan - I just like the slices better that way! Thank you so much for sharing!
