King Cake Cheat !! by The Easy Cajun
You don't have to wait for Mardi Gras to desire a luscious King Cake! And with my little cheat method, you can make one quickly and easily. And there won't be a baby to worry about!!! ;-)
Hey, I am “The Easy Cajun” . . . so I don’t mind finding and using an “easy” way to do some things . . . sometimes.
I know, some of my kitchen habits are OCD at all levels, but I found, tested several times, adjusted, and loved this shortcut for a faux King Cake. And everybody craved more once each was all gone!! So, why not cheat a little sometimes to get more smiles from the results of your kitchen activities ????
INGREDIENTS:
CAKE:
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
6 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
ICING:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk
Red, blue, yellow and green food coloring and/or . . .
colored sugar sprinkles (purple, gold, and green for Mardi Gras or whatever colors the celebration requires)
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon until it becomes all crumbly.
Unroll both tubes of crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place triangles on a greased 12-in. pizza pan, or any appropriate baking pan, to form a ring with pointed ends of the dough facing toward the center and wide ends overlapping as seen in the video. Lightly press the wide ends together.
Spoon the cream cheese mix near wide ends of ring as shown in the video. Put the brown sugar mix over the cream cheese ring as I did.
Fold the inside dough points over the filling and fold wide ends over points to seal (or vise-versa as I mistakenly did in the video, it work just as good and looks more artful). Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. After baking, cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
While your cake is in the oven, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve the desired consistency in your icing. Divide this among three bowls if you are going to color the icing. For Mardi Gras colors, use red and blue food coloring to tint one portion purple. Tint another portion yellow with yellow food coloring and tint the remaining portion green with the green food coloring. Drizzle the icing over your cake after it has finished baking in whatever pattern your creative instincts lead you to create.
If you elect to use colored sugar sprinkles in addition to, or instead of, coloring the icing, make sure your icing is a soft enough consistency to be able to hold on to the sprinkles when you get them distributed onto the cake.
Serve this warm if you can. Of course it’s great at room temperature also.
This is one of those times that it’s really ok to cheat my friends ????
And no! You don’t have to wait for Mardi Gras.
Bon appetite ????
