- Choose ripe pears and apples: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your coffee cake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your coffee cake a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
- Don't overbake the coffee cake: Overbaking can dry out the cake. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
