How To Make sun orange coffee cake

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9" round cake pan.
  • Step 2
    Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in the center of the pan. Cut the remaining biscuits in 1/2, forming 14 half-circles. Arrange the pieces around the center biscuit with cut sides facing in the same direction. When finished it'll kind of resemble the sun. LOL!
  • Step 3
    Brush melted butter over the tops of the biscuits.
  • Step 4
    In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, granulated sugar & orange zest. Mix well & sprinkle over biscuits. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Step 5
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, orange juice & food colorings. Blend until smooth adding more orange juice, if needed, to thin. Drizzle glaze over the warm coffee cake & serve.
