Nutty Orange Coffee Cake - so good no one will suspect it was made
with canned biscuits! Even people at my office that "don't bake" have
made this their favorite holiday breakfast bread.
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 t. grated orange rind
1/2 of an 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
2 11 oz. cans of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Combine sugar, pecans, and orange rind in a small bowl; set aside.
Put 1 t. cream cheese in the center of each biscuit and fold over to
seal, pressing edges together. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter
and then dredge in the sugar mixture. Put in a greased Bundt or tube
cake pan, spacing biscuits evenly - do not stack. Drizzle with the
rest of the butter. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over all.
Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate.
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 TB orange juice
Drizzle glaze over the warm coffee cake and serve immediately.
