Ingredients:
- 2 drops green food coloring
- 2 drops yellow food coloring
- 1 drop red food coloring
- 1 drop blue food coloring
Directions:
- In a saucepan heat butter, sour cream, sugar and salt over low heat just until butter melts, stirring often. Check temperature to be between 100 and 110 degrees.
- Dissolve both packets of yeast into 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand 5 minutes or until the yeast starts to bubble.
- Into a large mixing bowl, add the butter mixture, eggs and 2 cups of flour and beat for two minutes or until it becomes smooth. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. This will take approximately 10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl. Turn the dough so that the grease covers all sides of it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for approximately one hour or until it doubles in size.
- In the meantime stir together 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it in half. Place one portion on a slightly floured surface and roll it with a rolling pin into a rectangle approximately 10x22.
- Spread half of the softened butter over the surface of the dough with a spatula leaving a 1 border and sprinkle half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture over.
- If you are adding a coin, fava bean or figurine as a token in the King Cake, place it on the rolled out dough just before rolling it up so the token is contained in the rolled up dough.
- Start on the long side of the dough and roll it like a jelly roll. Place roll seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet and bring the ends together to form an oval ring. Pinch ends together to seal.
- Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes or until it doubles in size again.
- Bake at 375º for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- When cake has completely cooled, spread top with Creamy Frosting letting it drip along the sides and sprinkle with bands of colored sugars in purple, yellow and green.
- FROSTING: Stir together powdered sugar and melted butter. Add milk to reach desired consistency for drizzling; stir in vanilla.
- COLORED SUGARS: Place 1/2 cup sugar and 2 drops of green food coloring in a jar with a tight fitting lid; seal. Shake vigorously for about 1 minute to evenly mix color with sugar. (Adjust color as needed.) Repeat procedure with 1/2 cup sugar and yellow food coloring. For purple, combine 1 drop red and 1 drop blue food coloring before adding to remaining 1/2 cup sugar. (I prefer to make the sugar the day or days before and letting them dry in open air so as to prevent bleeding.).
