I came up with this coffee cake because, I was in a hurry. I did not feel like waiting for yeast dough to rise. It makes for a beautiful presentation. I made this with frozen bread dough. This would be a great cake for guests, holidays or anytime. It consists of honey buns all stacked up on top of each other. It was a big hit in my home. It is absolutely delicious. I filled the cake With honey, pecans, orange zest and raisins. I topped it off with an orange zest icing. It came out beautiful. The family loves it! I hope you all enjoy my creation.
