“This cake is doubly delicious due to the cream cheese and vanilla chip filling,” notes Mary Shivers, Ada, Oklahoma. “I've made it for social gatherings and as a homey snack on chilly mornings. One piece leads to another!”
Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup vanilla or white chips
1 tablespoon 2% milk
glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Directions:
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 15-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and extract (filling will be soft). Spread down center of rectangle; sprinkle with chips. On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips, about 1/2 in. from filling.
3. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Seal ends. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Brush with milk. Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
5. For glaze, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and extract. Stir in enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over warm coffee cake. Sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 8-10 servings.
