Toasted Almond Tea Cake Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)

2

tablespoons packed brown sugar

1/3

cup coarsely chopped almonds, toasted

1/4

cup golden raisins

1/2

cup powdered sugar

1/2

teaspoon almond extract

3

to 4 teaspoons milk

Sliced almonds, toasted

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet. Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Overlap long sides to form 1 large rectangle. Firmly press perforations and edges to seal. Sprinkle with brown sugar, 1/3 cup almonds and raisins, to within 1/2 inch of edges. Starting with longest side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Place, seam side down, on cookie sheet.

Cut through roll at 1-inch intervals to within 1/8 inch of bottom, being careful not to cut all the way through. Fold down alternating slices from left to right, twisting slightly to show filling and forming a long loaf.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, almond extract and enough milk for desired glaze consistency. Drizzle glaze over warm cake. Sprinkle with additional sliced almonds.
