Sounds good and sounds like just the right size for two of us. I often want to try something new but wasteful making a huge bundt or sheet cake.

Will try this one this weekend. Thanks.

Thank you, I bought an orange coffee cake and we really liked it. Now, I'm going to make my own.

Sounds good except for the topping. An orange glaze would be nice. I guess that type of topping is what is generally considered for a coffee cake,

since I'm not much of a baker, we've always had the Pillsbury orange rolls on Christmas morning since our daughter was little. but I add some things to make them more special.

I unroll the dough and add raisins and chopped pecans , then sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar and fresh grated orange zest. then roll them back up and bake. then I take the glaze that comes with them and put it in a small bowl. I mix in a little of the fresh juice from the orange I zested and add a little powdered sugar to make the right consistency, then drizzle over the rolls.

and Berta, thanks for the recipe. we love anything orange .
