This Orange Streusel Coffee Cake is perfect for breakfast or dessert with its light orange flavor and tender crumb.
Good morning, friends!! It’s not very often that I say I’m glad it’s Monday. Today, however, is one of those days.
This past weekend was very stressful. Nothing I’ll go into …. being stressed out is just a part of life sometimes. Right? I hate feeling like I am being pushed to the max. One of the ways I handle stress is by baking! I made this yummy Orange Streusel Coffee Cake (and some other treats coming soon!!) to try to get my mind in another place.
This Orange Streusel Coffeee Cake is soooo easy to throw together! You only need to dirty one bowl and the pan you bake it in!! The sugary topping pairs nicely with the cake giving it just a bit of extra sweetness.
Here’s to a great Monday and better week for all of us!

Nothing is better to me than the flavor of Orange, especially in the morning. My father grew up in Florida. I have many memories (stories) from his childhood. He has been 20 years and I remember him, especially when I eat something with oranges.
