COOK'S NOTES
Recipe Fact
The flavors of an Austrian linzer torte inspired Priscilla Yee of Concord,
California, to create this yummy custard-like coffee cake.
Kitchen Tips
Grated lemon peel is very aromatic and recipes often (all for small amounts of
it. To keep grated lemon peel on hand, grate the entire lemon, wrap the peel
tightly in plastic wrap and freeze it. Frozen lemon peel takes only a few
minutes to thaw at room temperature.
The type of baking pan you choose affects baking times. If your baking pan has a
dark finish, the coffee cake will probably be done in the minimum baking time.
Conversely, if you have an insulated pan, the baking time will probably be the
longest time in the range.
