Blood Orange Coffee Cake

I know I know I know. Blood orange coffee cake!
Not only do I have a severe blood orange problem, I also have a coffee cake problem. A BIG ONE. It’s been only two months since I made another coffee cake and I was craving one again. Enter blood orange coffee cake.
If only!
Because. I wanted to cover it in a pink glaze. That’s the REAL reason that I can’t get over blood orange.
It should come as no surprise because I often mention how I don’t really care about orange flavored things. It’s not that I dislike them, it’s just never the first flavor I would choose. I feel slightly different about blood oranges as a whole because they are a bit sweeter and less orange-like than navel oranges, but when zested? It’s all the same thing.
But the pink reigns me in.
