Florida Orange Juice Pecan Crunch Cake

Oh boy, do I have a special treat in store for you guys today! I literally could NOT wait to share this super fun cake recipe as soon as I tasted it! Something about the pecan, cinnamon, and Florida Orange Juice combination cannot be beat, and I don’t know why, but it always gives me fancy vibes!

It is National Nutrition Month, so what better way to celebrate than a nutrient packed recipe!? I was ecstatic to partner with Florida Orange Juice on this recipe, as that is where this cake gets its amazing citrus flavor! Florida Orange Juice is 100% OJ, so you won’t find any added sugar here - which you guys know is so important to me! It is chock-full of vitamin C, with one 8-ounce glass containing over 100% of the RDV! NUTS. Vitamin C is essential for skin and bone health, as well as immune function. So be sure to get it in!

Florida Orange Juice also offers a number of other essential vitamins and minerals including:

• folate (may help prevent cardiovascular disease)

• magnesium & potassium (essential for heart, kidney, and muscle function)

• vitaminB6 (helps the body create antibodies to help fight disease)

• calcium & vitamin D (in fortified OJ)

• and thiamin (crucial for cell growth, development, and function)

And, an extra whammy, it is the only fruit juice that contains a significant amount of the phytonutrient hesperidin, which may help reduce inflammation. This nutrient-dense beverage may offer cognitive benefits, and help support bone, cardiovascular, and immune system function.

It not only makes a great breakfast beverage, but works great for baking as well! I’ve used it in tons of different recipes - pancakes, cheesecakes, and this crunch cake! I am very picky when it comes to citrusy baked goods. I like them to pack a citrus PUNCH and sometimes, extracts just don’t do it the same as the real deal. The Florida Orange Juice is essential for that full flavor appeal! You also will not see me complaining about devouring a dessert that offers some health benefits, either!

This recipe is incredibly easy. You make the crumble, make the batter, bake it, and glaze it up! Quick, painless, and a crowd pleaser!
