Kings Cake 2
I previously did an entire episode on King's Cake. This one offers tips from the McKinney Franchisee who is the queen of King Cake sales.
The cakes have a baby inside and are shaped like a big huge donut. For King Cakes, we frost than add the colored
sugars of yellow, purple and green. The
colors signify yellow/gold for power, green for justice and purple for
faith.
We use a pastry style sweet dough, which is rich and dense. Not really cake like more bread like in
texture.
½ cup of honey
3 cups of white flour bread
flour
1 cup of whole wheat flour
bread flour
1Tablespoon of salt
1 Tablespoon of vanilla
2 Eggs
¼ cup of butter softened
2 packages of yeast or 1 ¾
Tablespoon of dried yeast.
1 ½ cups of milk warmed
Make the dough into a long rope like shape much like you
would for a baguette. Flatten out the
roll, and put brown sugar and a cinnamon mixture in the middle.
1 cup of brown sugar
1 Tablespoon of cinnamon
Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until the bread reaches
180 degrees.
With a pastry brush, paint on a layer of powdered sugar and
water.
1 cup of powdered sugar
Add a tablespoon of water at
a time to get a runny pancake batter consistency.
The frosting is thin and used to help the colored sugars
stick to the loaf. Sprinkle each segment
liberally with yellow, green and then purple sugars. You alternate each color.
Colored sugar. Place
a cup of white sugar into a plastic bag and add a drop or two of food
color. Seal the bag shut and shake the
bag until the color is evenly distributed.
Keep adding food color if needed to get the desired brightness.
Place the sheet in the middle of the pre-heated oven for
30-35 minutes. Check to see if the loaf
has baked long enough by taking the temperature of the dough in the middle of
the loaf, and it should reach 180 degrees.
Place on a wire rack and let cool for 15-20 minutes before frosting and
adding the sugars.
