Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (12 ounces)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with cooking spray.
-
Prepare Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine sugar and chopped nuts if using, then set aside for later use.
-
Fill Biscuits: Take each biscuit from the tube and place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold the biscuit in half over the cream cheese, sealing the edges by pressing them together.
-
Coat Biscuits: Dip each filled biscuit in melted butter, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then dredge the butter-coated biscuit in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
-
Arrange in Pan: Arrange the coated biscuits, curved side down, in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Ensure they’re spaced evenly and not stacked on top of each other. If there are any remaining biscuits, place them around the center of the pan, filling any gaps.
-
Drizzle with Remaining Butter and Sugar: Pour any remaining melted butter and sugar mixture over the biscuits in the pan, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
-
Bake: Place the prepared bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a serving plate. This will allow the caramelized sugar to create a delicious topping.
-
Prepare Orange Glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and orange juice, stirring well until smooth. Drizzle the orange glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in and enhance the flavors.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Nutty Orange Coffee Cake and serve it warm or at room temperature, paired with your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat!
