Buttermilk-Citrus Coffee Cake

If you like citrus, this is the cake for you. It gets a flavor punch from three sources: the zest in the batter, the candied citrus slices on top, and the citrus syrup poured over the cake while it’s still warm. With such a pretty presentation, it also makes a terrific gift.
