Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  7. If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the batter for added crunch and flavor.

  8. Spoon the lemon curd over the batter, leaving a border of about 1/2 inch around the edges.

  9. Gently spread the remaining batter over the lemon curd layer, being careful not to mix the two layers together.

  10. Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  11. Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy the tangy, sweet flavors of the Lemon Filled Coffee Cake with your favorite hot beverage or as a delightful dessert.
