Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set before serving. (2 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg to the cake batter.
To prevent the streusel from sinking into the cake, you can lightly toss it with a tablespoon of flour before adding it to the batter.
If you don't have orange juice, you can substitute it with milk or buttermilk.
Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
