Just in case you haven’t had enough king cake yet, here is another helping. I saw an article on NOLA Eater the other day, discussing some of the incredible variations on king cake. There are king cake donuts, king cake floats, king cake pancakes, king cake soda, king cake vodka (yes vodka), and the list goes on. Apparently, there is no end to variations on the king cake theme. With that in mind, I searched through my own cookbooks and looked at recipes online to come up with a basic king cake dough that can be filled with any number of fillings.

I went back to one of my favorite roll recipes and made some variations to come up with a tender, light version of cake. Traditional king cakes tend to be somewhat dense and sometimes a little dry. This version is lighter and flakier. I filled it with a cream cheese filling, but you can use your imagination (see the recipe notes).

If you have a plastic baby to insert, that’s great, but if not, you can use a bean. Beans were the original prize in the cake. Either way, the baby or the bean should be inserted into the cake from the bottom, after it has been baked. We don’t want any melted plastic babies!

I made my own colored sugar with plain white sugar and gel coloring. I put the sugar in a plastic bag and added a bit of gel coloring (a little goes a long way) and mushed it around to color the sugar. I added more coloring as needed to get the desired tint. This was much more economical than purchasing individual colors of sugar, and I get to make the color I want, when I need it.

Try this out and let me know what filling you used. If you take pictures, send me one at [email protected] so I can share them.

    Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Kudos!
