This is all I have. I know!! I think there was too much cooking and baking going on, and the house was such a mess post-Christmas that I just didn't have any desire to take pictures when there was delicious food to be eaten. I *did* memorialize this beautiful King Cake that I made for Epiphany, though. It was quite tasty!
I have used this recipe the last couple of years, and it is delicious even though I completely change up the filling (no bananas ever, please! I do an apple-cinnamon-cream-cheese filling instead, and it needs at least 10 minutes of extra bake time, in my opinion). I must tell you, though, that it makes an absolutely ENORMOUS King Cake, so plan on either halving the recipe, feeding a huge crowd, or dividing the dough in half and baking two separate cakes. The latter is my preference, since I make one that we eat on Epiphany and the other gets eaten on Mardi Gras, which is coming up!
Truly it's basically a giant cinnamon roll... A brioche dough + whatever filling you want? You can't possibly go wrong. Just looking at this picture makes me want to dig the second cake out of the freezer!
It's only one but it is a great picture :)
