Kings Cake
Quick and Easy Recipe!
Brought to the Gulf states area by colonists from France and Spain, Kings Cake is associated with Carnival or Mardi Gras!
King cake parties in New Orleans are documented back to the eighteenth century and the cakes come in a number of styles. The most simple is the recipe listed below. Cajun Kings Cakes are traditionally deep-fat-fried like a doughnut with filling!
It is customary to bake a small trinket in the cake and cut it into 2 inch slices. The person who receives the trinket receives various privileges!
You will need:
1 can of cinnamon rolls with icing
Colored sugar (purple, green and yellow/gold)
Additional cream cheese icing (optional)
Trinket (optional)
Directions:
1. Separate the cinnamon rolls and roll them out by hand into a log shape. Hide your 'bake-proof' trinket in the log (optional), .
2. Make the log into an oval and pinch the ends together.
3. Place on a cookie sheet and bake as directed on package.
4. Set the cake aside to cool.
5. Once cool, ice the top and then decorate with colored sugar - alternating as you go around the oval (see photo).
Now it is time to ENJOY!
Have your say
