Picture of Nutty Orange Coffee Cake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 (12-ounce) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 count)
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, pecans, and zest; set aside. Separate the biscuits. Place about 3/4 teaspoon cream cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold each biscuit in half over the cheese, pressing the edges to seal. Dip the biscuits in melted butter, then dredge in the granulated sugar mixture. Place the biscuits, curved-side down, in a single layer in the hollows of a lightly greased 12-cup bundt pan, spacing them evenly (do not stack). Place any remaining biscuits around the tube, filling any gaps. Drizzle any remaining butter over the biscuits, and sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Immediately invert the cake onto a serving platter. Combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, stirring well; drizzle the glaze over the warm cake. Serve warm.

30 minutes

Cooking Time

Ingredients (serves 6)

  • 6 eggwhites
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) caster sugar
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbs cornflour
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 2 kiwifruit, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 just-ripe mango, cheeks removed, peeled, thinly sliced

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 120°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

  2. Use an electric mixer to whisk the eggwhites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until meringue is thick and glossy and sugar is dissolved. Rub a little meringue between your fingers, if it’s still gritty, continue to whisk until sugar dissolves. Add the vinegar and cornflour and fold until just combined.

  3. Spoon the meringue onto the lined tray and use a spatula to shape into a 20cm disc. Bake in oven for 1 1/2 hours or until pavlova is dry to the touch. Turn off oven and leave, with the door ajar, to cool completely. Transfer to a serving plate. Use an electric mixer to whisk the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon onto the top of the pavlova. Decorate the top of the pavlova with kiwifruit, mango and passionfruit pulp. Serve immediately.
