Crescent Roll Cheese Coffeecake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (8 ounce) packages crescent rolls
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 -2 teaspoon almond extract
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon sugar
Preparation
    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.
    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.
    Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and egg together. Stir in almond extract. Remove pan from oven.
    Pour the cream cheese mixture in the pan, gently smooth out.
    Fold over any points from the sides of the pan.
    Lay the additional pastry triangles around the cake like a spoke, with the thin points to the center.
    Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
    Bake for 24 minutes, or until top is golden.
    Remove from oven, let sit for approximately 15 minutes.
