My sister gave me this recipe about 40 years ago, and I still make it often. Whenever I take it to a gathering, there's rarely a crumb left - everyone loves the delightful orange flavor. -Janice Satanek, Hermitage, Pennsylvania

This coffee cake was a disappointment. The cake was dry and the crumb topping was too thick and crumbly.

This coffee cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still a good recipe. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've never been a fan of orange-flavored desserts, but this cake changed my mind. The orange flavor was subtle and complemented the walnuts perfectly. The cake was also moist and fluffy, and the crumb topping was the perfect finishing touch.
