Spiral Coffee Cake with Nuts and Orange Marmalade
It’s hard to describe the sheer awesomeness of this coffee cake, with its beautiful spirals and layers of brown sugar, pecans, walnuts and orange marmalade. But for you, I will try. Imagine the aroma of warm sugar and nuts, think about the sensation of fresh, fluffy bread melting in your mouth. That is this coffee cake.
I decided to play around with this recipe yesterday afternoon, even sharing some of my progress on Twitter. I was hoping, really hoping, that the finished product would resemble what I had in mind – namely, those mini, spiral coffee cakes my dad used to munch on with his morning coffee when I was kid. He bought them at the local grocery store but my version would be homemade. And jumbo sized. With lots of nuts. And orange marmalade! When I pulled the coffee cake out of the oven and inhaled its cinnamon and nutmeg spiced aroma I knew I was onto something. Dad would love this coffee cake.
