Ingredients

• 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.
