I am a little late posting for this but its still here for next year. Looking for some GF ideas for Fat Tuesday?? I have never been nor do I attend any parties but I know my readers do.
Its Fat Tuesday, Here is an easy GF (possibly DF) King Cake
King cake
Note: this is a great treat every day of the year; we have incorporated this into baby showers, birthday parties, retirement parties, office parties, bible studies, coffee dates with friends. Simply hide anything small in it for someone to find for a special prize or that person must throw the next party etc….
This takes a lot of prep time to do it from scratch. You know my motto, if it isn’t easy peasy I don’t do it. I use gluten free boxed cinnamon bun mix to make things easier without much difference. You can use your favorite mix; I have also used French bread mix with added cinnamon and sugar. Once you add in all the goodies it all tastes good. (I have also just done regular cake mix and have had great reviews. The king cake is versatile and many people do it cake like, bread like, or cinnamon bun like, it’s a matter of taste)
There are many fillings so pick your favorite (two are listed below). Then roll out your dough to make a rectangle (remember you are putting this in a Bundt pan so make sure its long enough to form a circle and wide enough to go around your filling. Don’t forget to place the miniature item inside before baking. Once baked according to the mix then pour on some icing and sprinkle with the colored sprinkles. Yellow, green, purple,
Cream Cheese Filling: 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (16 ounces total) -1 egg – 3⁄4 cup sugar – 1⁄8 teaspoon salt – 2 teaspoons vanilla
