Orange cream cheese coffee cake is one of those recipes that takes aย little effort, but the results are fantastic.

Orange cream cheese coffee cake made with oranges and a cinnamon crumble

I decided to use up an orange that was left behind in the refrigerator and decided that coffee cake would be a great way to use it. The orange cream cheese coffee cake turned out so delicious that I bought another orange that same week and made the coffee cake again.

Coffee cake is one of those breakfast foods that I like to make and serve on the weekends. I really like coffee cakes that you can throw together with little effort and have them on the table in under an hour. Even though I do enjoy serving coffee cake for breakfast or brunch I have been known to serve a slice for lunch or dinner too.

The coffee cake is super moist which is the result of the cream cheese and the bit of orange that is sprinkled over the top of the cake.

The coffee cake starts out with making the cake, which is pretty basic. You know flour, eggs… I think you get the picture.

But then you take an orange and chop it into small pieces and sprinkle that over the top of the cake. A cinnamon crumble is then sprinkled over the top of the oranges.

If you know me at all I love my crumbles. Yeah, if you don’t have some kind of crumble on a coffee cake, well it really isn’t a coffee cake. At least for me.

Before my blogging days, I would have never thought of combining cinnamon and orange together. But to my surprise, I really enjoy the two flavors together.

    I love when a bake is so good, that we make another one right after.

    I’m a big fan of cinnamon and orange. When I was a kid, that was the first thing I made to bring into class for a project, cinnamon orange french toast. Heaven, that combo, well trio really, with the maple.
