Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform or round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and 3/4 cup of unsalted butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the orange zest and orange juice. Stir in the sour cream until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Set this filling aside.
To make the streusel, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Dollop the cream cheese filling over the batter, then spread gently with a spatula. Add the remaining cake batter on top and smooth it out.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Orange Cream Cheese Coffee Cake!
