The BEST King Cake You Can Make At Home | New Orleans Recipe
King Cake is a special treat that we have every year in New Orleans leading up to Mardi Gras. It is usually a cinnamon roll-style cake with a form of icing and sprinkles. Sometimes they are filled with cream cheese or jelly, but in this case I kept it simple as a base recipe. I like the Randazzo's style king cake with a brioche style bread and thick, spreadable icing. I think this is the best king cake I've ever had and I'm excited to share it with you!
