1
tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda ½ cup butter, softened
½ cup sugar
3 eggs
½ tsp vanilla
⅓ cup orange juice
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup chopped apples
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
¼ cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp butter, melted
½ cup powdered sugar
2½ tsp orange juice
Preheat
oven to 350º. Grease a 9 or 10 inch tube
pan. To make streusel, combine brown
sugar, apples, nuts, and ¼ cup flour and
cinnamon. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine 2 cups flour, baking
soda, baking powder and mix well. In a
large bowl using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beat well after each
addition. Add vanilla. Set mixer to low and alternately beat flour
mixture and ⅓ cup orange juice into the egg mixture.
Spoon half of the batter into a tube pan and sprinkle with half of the
streusel mixture. Spoon remaining batter
over top spreading to make an even layer.
Swirl batter with knife to create a marbled pattern. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove cake and sprinkle with remaining
streusel. Return cake to oven and bake until
a toothpick is inserted in center and comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack and cool
completely. Combine powdered sugar and
2½ tsp orange juice. Mix well, turn cake
out onto a serving plate, invert so streusel is on top. Drizzle glaze over cake.
