One of the things I am most proud of is being from Louisiana. The past two years during the Mardi Gras season I had been doing fertility treatments in Shreveport, thus our February's were filled with multiple King Cakes from Julianne's. This year the multiple weekly drives are over so I went in search of the perfect way to add a little Louisiana to my life. I found it here. And below you will find step by step instructions as made by myself in my kitchen.
Step One: Gather your ingredients.
Two tubes of seamless dough
Sugar
Cinnimon
Cream Cheese
Mexican Vanilla
Powdered Sugar
Lemon Juice
Sprinkles (Green, Yellow and Purple)
Step Two: Preheat Oven to 375*
Step Three: Mix one block of cream cheese with 1/2 cup of sugar on high until smooth.
Step Four: Add several splashes of Mexican Vanilla and blend.
Step Five: In a seperate bowl mix 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 table spoon of cinnamon. Set to the side.
Step Six: Unroll dough and cut into quarters.
Step Seven: Spread Cinnamon Sugar equally over unrolled quartered dough.
Step Eight: Put several dollops of the cream cheese filling on each quarter length wise along the bottom.
Step Nine: Fold dough in half length wise rolling it up like a cigar.
Step Ten: Roll up "cigar" like a cinnamon roll as pictured below.
Step Eleven: Place rolled up dough in a cupcake tin seam side up.
Step Twelve: Bake covered for 13 minutes.
Step Thirteen: Bake uncovered for 13 minutes.
Step Fourteen: Remove from oven and let cool.
Step Fifteen: While cooling mix about one cup of powdered sugar with 1 1/2 table spoons of water and 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Step Sixteen: Remove cakes from tins glaze with frosting.
Step Seventeen: Sprinkle with Green, Yellow and Purple sprinkles
There you have it, a little Louisiana in the home. (I did not have yellow or purple sprinkles for this batch :( )
For some extra fun hide the baby in one of the mini cakes before serving. Whoever "finds" the baby has to make the mini cakes for the next event!
