• To make cake, combine cake mix (minus the 2 T. for struesel), pudding mix, eggs, sour cream and oil in a large mixing bowl.

• Turn the loaves right side up.
• Allow to cool completely.
• For glaze, in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk or orange juice until smooth.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, pecans, orange zest.
• Separate each biscuit, (there shoud be 20 biscuts - so you will have 40 layers).
• Cut cream cheese into 20 pieces.
• Place one piece of cream cheese on each of 20 biscuit halves.
• Top with remaining biscuits halves and pinch the edges to seal them.
• Dip filled biscuits in melted butter.
• Dredge in the sugar mixture. I do have to make extra mixture sometimes.
• Stand each biscuit on it's edge in a lightly greased 12-cup bundt pan, spacing evenly, but together.
• Drizzle with remaining butter and sugar mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Immediately invert onto a wire rack.

Steps:

• Mix yeast and warm water together to proof yeast.
• Cream shortening and margarine with sugar.
• Add yeast and water mixture.
• Add three cups flour and mix.
• Continue adding flour until soft dough forms.
• Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic.
• Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double (about an hour).
• Punch down.
• Roll out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
• Mix all of the filling ingredients cutting the butter or margarine in until it is well blended.
• Spread evenly over the dough and roll, jelly roll style from the long side.
• Cut into 1 inch slices, place on lightly greased baking pan.
• Let rise 20-30 minutes.
• Bake at 350° for approximately 30 minutes.
• Mix frosting until smooth.
• Pour over rolls while they are still slightly warm.
• Note: I usually mix the frosting and then add a store bought tub of vanilla frosting.
• It gives a better texture to the frosting.
• If you choose to do this, I recommend having the"homemade" part slightly thicker than the desired end product.
• If you are adding the store bought frosting, the margarine/butter is not necessary.
