Orange
Walnut Sunrise Coffee Cake
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for pan
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits (recommended: Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers)
- 1/4 cup minced walnuts
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, or more as necessary
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 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.
