ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW KING CAKE/Emeril YIELD: 10-12 SERVINGS Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Combine the warm water, yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside to a warm place for about 10 minutes. Combine the 4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, nutmeg, lemon rind and add warm milk, melted butter, egg yolks and yeast mixture. Beat until smooth. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface. Kneed in enough remaining flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes). Place the dough in a well- greased bowl. Turn once so greased surface is on top. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours). Punch the dough down and place on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with the citron and knead until the citron is evenly distributed. Shape the dough into a cylinder, about 30 inches long. Place the cylinder on a buttered baking sheet. Shape into a ring, pinching ends together to seal. Place a well-greased 2-pound coffee can or shortening can in the center of the ring to maintain shape during baking. Press the boy, pecan half or dried bean into the ring from the bottom so that it is completely hidden by the dough. Covers the ring with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the coffee can immediately. Allow the cake to cool. For the glaze: Combine the ingredients and beat until smooth. To assemble, drizzle cake with the glaze. Sprinkle with sugar crystals, alternating colors. Cut into the cake and hope you do not get the baby.

New Orleans Style King Cake
This is truly a New Orleans Original. This recipe celebrates the traditional King Cake. A moist fluffy bread, with a sweet cinnamon swirl in the center. All topped with a sugar glaze and dressed in purple, green and gold sprinkles.
Ingredients:
Cake:
o ½ teaspoon salt
o 1 teaspoon lemon zest
o 1 tablespoon active yeast
o ¼ cup warm water (110 degrees)
1/2 warm milk
o ¼ cup granulated sugar
o ½ cup unsalted butter
o 2 egg yolks
o 3 cups bread flour
o ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
o 1 egg
o 1 teaspoon milk
Cinnamon Swirl Filling:
o ¼ cup granulated sugar
o 1 tablespoon cinnamon
o 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Glaze:
o 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
o 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
o 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
o 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
1. Whisk sugar and yeast together in a mixing bowl. Combine warm water and milk in another bowl, mixture should be warm about 110 degrees. Pour milk mixture into mixing bowl with yeast and sugar. Whisk and allow to set covered for 5 minutes. Yeast should create a light foam over top of mixture.
2. Add butter (cut into pieces) and mix on medium. Butter will break up a bit, but not completely. Next add in egg yolk, also mix on medium. Add in lemon zest and mix until combined. Mix in 2 cups of the flour mixture, 1 cup at a time. Mix on medium using a dough hook. Add in another ¼ - ½ cup of flour, dough should no longer stick to the sides of the bowl.
3. Remove dough from the bowl, onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and bounces back when poked, about 5 – 10 minutes. Place the dough into a will oiled bowl, cover and place in a warm place. Let the dough rise for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
4. Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl. Punch down risen dough and place on a lightly floured surface. Using a roller, roll dough into a 12 X 20-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle in equal half’s, longways. With a knife, spread softened butter generously over each half, leaving a small edge all the way around. Use all of the butter in the recipe. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over every inch of butter.
5. Starting at longer side of each rectangle, roll up the dough into a log shape. Take the end of each roll and pinch them together. Then starting from the end, twist the roll under and over, pinching them together at the opposite end. Once the rolls have formed a twist, turn them into a circle folding the loose ends under one another. Loosely cover cake with plastic and let rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
6. Once risen, brush the cake with the egg wash. Bake the king cake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. When the cake is golden brown, tap the top. If the cake should hallow, when it is ready.
7. Once cake has cooled began to glaze. Make glaze by whisking together confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Spoon glaze generously over the cake. After glazing immediately sprinkle purple, green and gold sugar sprinkles over the glaze, repeating the color combination around the cake.
