Easy Coffee Cake

"I obtained this recipe from Paula Deen's cookbook, "The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook. It was the easiest recipe I have ever made and it tasted so good. I have also made the recipe substituting Splenda for the sugar and it came out just as good!"

  1. Such a great dessert! I am so happy to have found this recipe. Breakfast and brunch will never be the same :)
     
  2. A co-worker made this and it is great! I'm not rating it because she used cinnamon rolls (mashed flat) instead of the cresent rolls. She also made another version with orange rolls (and mandarin oranges over the top of the cream cheese layer). Delicious!!
     
  3. OMG this is amazing! loved it! loved it! I added some fresh strawberries and some strawberry sauce. This is excellent! I am going to make this for my Grandson's Baptism in two weeks, b/cuz I am confident that my guests will love it. Thank You for a great recipe. Made for PAC 09
     
  4. I love this! I did make a few changes to lighten it up, Splenda and low-fat cream cheese, almond extract instead of vanilla, and slivered almonds in place of pecans. Easy to make, yet tastes so homemade. Made for Alphabet Soup Game. Thank you so much for posting.
     
  5. I would probably have given this a 3, but didn't follow the recipe exactly. I thought it would be a cheesecake-like dessert, but it came out much less sweet than I expected. It was ok in the morning as a coffeecake, especially w/a little blueberry sauce (i.e. runny jam) over the top, which sweetened it up a bit and added color as well.

I love cooking and reading cookbooks, I'm always looking for new ideas! Being a true Italian, I have always loved making traditional dishes like Eggplant & Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana with a side of Spaghetti, Manicotti with homemade crepe's (none of those store bought shells for me), Pasta Fagioli and good old Tiramisu! My goal in life is to open a restaurant or catering business. I have been dabbing in catering friends parties now and then, but to do it full time would be my dream come true!
