Company Coffeecake Recipe - Cooking Index
1 | Maraschino cherries - (10 oz) - drained | |
1 | Cream cheese - (8 oz) - softened | |
1/2 cup | 46g / 1.6oz | Slivered almonds |
1/2 cup | 99g / 3.5oz | Sugar |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Almond extract |
2 | Refrigerated crescent rolls - (8 oz ea) | |
1/2 cup | 99g / 3.5oz | Powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Milk - (to 2) |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Almond extract |
Reserve 8 to 10 maraschino cherries for garnish; chop remaining cherries. Combine chopped cherries, cream cheese, almonds, sugar and almond extract; mix well.
Unroll each can of crescent roll dough into 2 large rectangles; press firmly at edges and perforations to make one large rectangle. Roll or pat into a 15- by 13-inch rectangle.
Spread cream cheese mixture over dough. Roll up dough starting at long side of rectangle. Place seam-side down on greased baking sheet. Form into a ring, firmly pressing ends together. With scissors or a sharp knife, cut almost through ring at 1-inch intervals. Turn each section slightly on its side.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. If necessary, cover with foil during the last 5 minutes to prevent over browning. Carefully remove from pan to wire rack.
Combine powdered sugar, milk and almond extract to make a glaze. Drizzle over coffee cake. Garnish with reserved whole cherries. Refrigerate leftovers.
