- Combine the confectioners’ sugar and orange juice, stirring well; drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.
- Serve warm.

uh oh this is amazing!! Clever use of canned refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, but besides all that, it sounds just plain delish – I love the concept of incorporating the cream cheese, too.
