Easy Sweetness
When I left my home state, my mama put all of her usual recipes into a recipe book and this is one she included. My mother got it from our neighbor's mama. So, when some girls came over for Grey's last night*, I decided instead of the usual red wine+ salty snack, I'd mix it up a bit. As the queen of easy, I made the delicious, unhealthy, and extremely wonderful Easy Sugar Cake with some decaf coffee. It takes all of 5 minutes to put together, plus 30 minutes to bake.
Homemade (and more complex) sugar cake is a Moravian tradition that folks at home just adore from Dewey's bakery.
Ingredients for the easy version:
2 containers of crescent rolls (I used reduced fat)
8 oz container of Neufchatel (or cream cheese)
1 c powdered sugar or so
1 T vanilla
brown sugar
butter
cinnamon
How to:
Preheat oven to 350.
Grease cookie sheet.
Unroll one container of crescent rolls, pinching together the perforations to make a flat sheet.
Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, & vanilla.
Spread onto top of crescent rolls.
Unroll second container of crescent rolls on top of filling.
Use a fork to poke holes in this second part.
Sprinkle w/ brown sugar, however much you'd want. 1/2 cup should be about right but whatever looks good. Sprinkle cinnamon over this.
Melt some butter (original recipe calls for a whole stick but my ma and I use MUCH less) and pour over the brown sugar.
Pop into the oven for 25-30 minutes.
Cut into tiny pieces.
Eat.
MMMM.

* Um, does everyone agree that it was mostly awful except for the Alex story? I believe that if you eat a whole tub of butter, you're a weirdo.

I've eaten tubs of various things when, ahem, coping. I just can't judge.
Couldn't find a better place to put this comment down E.
