For those of you who requested the recipe for my orange coffee cake, here you go……there is one slice left!!

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup orange juice

Cream butter, sugar and egg. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Alternately add dry ingredients and liquids to butter mixture. Butter or spray a sheet pan or baking dish and spread batter evenly. Top with crumble and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Check it to make sure toothpick comes out clean when you poke it.

Crumble: 1 stick of melted butter, 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar. Mix it up and sprinkle on cake.

When cake is still warm, drizzle orange glaze, which is a mixture of powdered sugar and orange juice (mixed to your preferred thickness)
ENJOY

M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m, I sure wish you could smell the wonderful aroma of the orange coffee cake that I just took out of the oven. The combined smells of cinnamon and orange and brown sugar……well, what can I say? It is amazing. If you recall, I think I told you awhile back that every Friday is cupcake Friday in our office. I decided to make this coffee cake instead. It is always a favorite and it is delicious. I think it may be loaded with vitamin C also!!! Oranges have vitamin C, right? Well, I used 2 whole oranges! Therefore, I believe it is a semi healthy coffee cake. Ok, ok, maybe not. But it sure couldn’t hurt. I will gladly provide the recipe if you would like it. Just leave a comment to let me know. Speaking of recipes, I will have a recipe index in the next week or so. YAY! I am so excited. After all, who wants to look at a food blog that has no recipes. Thank you for sticking with me. I appreciate your patience.
