1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 or 10" tube pan.

2 To prepare the streusel, in a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, nuts, and flour. Stir in the butter and zest.

3 To prepare cake, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in zest and vanilla.

4 In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

5 Reduce mixer speed to low. Alternately beat flour mixture and orange juice into egg mixture, beginning and ending with flour.

6 Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Top with the remaining batter and streusel.

7 Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

8 To prepare the glaze, in a cup, stir together confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth.

9 Turn the cake out onto a serving plate, placing it right-side up. Drizzle with the glaze.
