Swedish Coffee Cake

If you're looking for an easy-to-make cake, this cake is for you. You likely have all the ingredients for this cake on hand, so it is easy to whip up for a nice treat. The use of a little lemon juice gives this cake just a little tartness that serves it well. This cake could work for a special occasion or an ordinary day.

The recipe calls for a nine-inch square pan. But other pans, such as round pans, could be used. Any type of frosting could work with this cake, but I did not frost this cake. Instead, I just sprinkled the top with powdered sugar and served it with some freshly roasted grapes, which will be posted in the near future.
