Recipe Description
As I said, there are many different ways to make a King Cake. For this instructable, I used Mam Papaul's Mardi Gras King Cake Mix (cost about $6.00). It has nearly everything you will need to make a nice King Cake. I am loosely following the directions on the box. (I have two little helpers, making any baking event truly unique!)
In addition to the box of Mam Papaul's Mardi Gras King Cake Mix (available on the internet) you will need:
1 cup hot water
1 egg
1 stick of butter
Extra Flour
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cup
Baking Sheet
Rolling Pin
Spatula
Wood Spoon
Mixing Bowls
Blender (not necessary)
Open the box, and mix together the cake mix and the yeast.
Add 1 Cup of warm water and .5 cup of butter. (The butter will melt from the warm water and kneading, but I premelted my butter on the stove). Mix well. Add the egg. Knead the dough for 3.5 minutes.
Set bowl of dough in a wam place for about 30 minutes. After the dough has doubled in size, place it on a floured surface and roll out the dough into a 5" x 30" rectangle.
Mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter with the brown sugar-praline mix (you can add your own ingredients here, such as nuts or figs), and spread evenly over the rectangle. From the long side, roll the dough and pinch the edges to seal.
Place dough on a baking sheet and shape into an oval. Let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Bake cake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. Let cool.
Make the royal icing by adding 1 tablespoon of water to the white glaze mix. (I added too much water and the icing is a tad runny).
Spread icing on cake. Sprinkle the colored sugar crystals on the icing. Remember, the traditional colors of Carnival are purple, green, and gold. Gold for power, green for faith and purple for justice. I tried to represent each color evenly, but others may have different opinions.
Hide the golden baby under the cake. (Warning! Do not put it in the cake, as someone might swallow it!)
Note: Some say the baby represents the baby Jesus.
Serve and eat the cake! Whomever gets the slice that has the golden baby under it is the King or Queen! My kids anxiously await cake eating time, and I let them choose where their piece will come from! King Cakes are a great event in our home!(As of tonight, the golden baby has not been found, and only about 3 slices remain!). Last year, we held a King Cake party, and the person who received the golden baby was responsible for the next party. FYI: Serving Size: 98gCalories: 360Total Fat: 12gTotal Carbs 55gProtein 7g
