Prepare the Streusel:
- In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped apples, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour.
- Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
-
Make the Cake Batter:
- In another medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in vanilla extract.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Alternately add the flour mixture and orange juice to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Assemble the Cake:
- Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the prepared streusel mixture over the batter.
- Add the remaining cake batter on top of the streusel layer.
- Using a knife, gently swirl the batter and streusel together to create a marble pattern.
-
Bake the Cake:
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle the remaining streusel on top.
- Continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Glaze:
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze.
- Mix together confectioners’ sugar and orange juice until smooth.
- Once the cake is cooled, invert it onto a serving platter so the streusel is on top.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
