I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this coffee cake was surprisingly delicious. The lemon swirl was subtle and the cake was very moist.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and I would recommend it to others.
