Nutty Orange Coffee Cake

Nutty Orange Coffee Cake, originally uploaded by rkkilmer.

So, I decided to celebrate the south today. Although I was born and raised in California, I love everything about the south. Mind you, I've never been there, but that hasn't stopped me from being completely enamored of all things southern. So, I made sweet tea and nutty orange coffee cake. The recipe for the coffee cake came from my Paula Deen cookbook. You fill buttermilk biscuits with cream cheese, dredge them through melted butter and a mixture of sugar and chopped pecans. You place them in a bundt pan and poor the rest of the butter and the sugar mixture over the biscuits. You then bake till gold and bubbly! You immediately turn the cake over onto a plate. Then you mix some orange juice and some powdered sugar to make a glaze. Let me tell you, this is a recipe I will be making again and again! Major YUM!
