This recipe is one my mother made during my childhood. I am not sure where it came from, but it is my favorite roll, especially the glaze. I am also not sure why it is called coffee cake. It is more of a sweet roll and it's orange, which gets my vote any time. I have been trying lots of new sweet roll recipes lately, and this is still my favorite. It can't be beat. I hope you enjoy it!

Sprinkle with half of sugar-coconut mixture. Cut into 12 wedges. Roll up, starting with wide end and rolling to point. Repeat with remaining dough. Place rolls, point side down, in 3 rows in a well-greased pan. Cover and let rise in warm place until light and doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
