If you look at my posts this week you will see that they are all breakfast recipes. Breakfast, by far is my favorite meal of the day. I love coffee cakes and this lemon ginger coffee cake, is perfect for a quick breakfast.
I have mentioned that I get stuck on flavors. Right now it’s all about ginger. It is has been my favorite spice for the last couple of weeks; it seems like I can’t get enough of it. I love the combinations of citrus with ginger, I added to my smoothie that I posted last week that had orange, I have made lemon and ginger cookies.
I want to mention that this will be a short post today. I did something to my back this week. Sitting here at the computer is a hard thing to do for me.
I love this coffee cake so I wanted to make sure that it got posted this week. If you like the combination of ginger with citrus you are sure going to love this coffee cake. It’s a moist lemony coffee cake with a hint of ginger. Oh, of course, it has a yummy crumble too. Crumble is a must when you are baking a coffee cake, well at least in my book.

Add the wet mixture to the dry and fold together, just until the ingredients are combined. Spread the mixture in the prepared springform pan.

Look absolutely delicious !!!
Two of my favorite flavors so I know I would enjoy your coffee cake. We have friends staying with us this week and this sounds like something I think they might enjoy either for breakfast or as a snack. I’ve pinned this nice sounding coffee cake.
I love coffee cake, too, Dawn! I’d definitely put coffee cake up there as one of my top 3 weaknesses when it comes to food. I’ve never had a coffee cake with ginger in it, though…what a fun flavor combo you’ve got here! Sign me up for a slice (or two)! 🙂
This looks amazingly delicious!
What unlike about the recipe is the combo.. It has lemon and ginger-all time classic combo.it is just perfect to rock any tea party
