Directions

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

   In a 10 inch cake pan,lay out the separated triangles from one crescent roll in a star pattern, with corners overlapping. Pat down in pan until the bottom is completely covered, and a little up the sides. It's nice if there are some points up the sides to lay over the topping.

3. 3

   Put pan in oven for 4-5 minutes.

   From the second tube, take four crescents, roll them out and cut them in half the long way (so you have eight small triangles). Set aside.

5. 5

   Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and egg together. Stir in almond extract. Remove pan from oven.

6. 6

   Pour the cream cheese mixture in the pan, gently smooth out.

7. 7

   Fold over any points from the sides of the pan.

8. 8

   Lay the additional pastry triangles around the cake like a spoke, with the thin points to the center.

9. 9

   Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.

    Bake for 24 minutes, or until top is golden.
