Steps:

ORANGE COFFEE CAKE
Another Paula Deen recipe that is so easy thanks to the refrigerated biscuits. The glaze makes them extra delicious! I heated the left overs individually in the microwave for a sweet snack later in the day. These would be great for a pot-luck or brunch.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in the center of the pan. Cut the remaining biscuits in half, forming 14 half-circles. Arrange the pieces around the center biscuit with cut sides facing in the same direction. Brush melted butter over the tops of the biscuits.
- In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Mix well and sprinkle over biscuits. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and orange juice. Blend until smooth adding more orange juice, if needed, to thin. Drizzle glaze over the warm coffee cake and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. Oranges that are in season will have a sweeter and more intense flavor than oranges that are not in season.
- Grate the orange zest before juicing the oranges. This will help to release the essential oils in the zest, which will give the cake a more pronounced orange flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a bundt pan for a classic presentation. A bundt pan will give the cake a beautiful shape and allow the glaze to drip down the sides.
- Make the glaze while the cake is baking. This will give the glaze time to cool slightly before you pour it over the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze to set properly.
- Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will add a delicious richness to the cake.
Conclusion:
Paula Deen's Nutty Orange Coffee Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy orange glaze. The walnuts add a nice crunch and texture to the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
