We love King Cakes in the Test Kitchen, but don't make them often because the process can take a while. Well, we may be making them more after trying this easy King Cake recipe. It's simple and delicious. The dough is nice and soft. The filling is slightly spicy thanks to the nutmeg (but not overpowering). With a slight citrus flavor, the glaze is fantastic. Even if you don't celebrate Mardi Gras, we suggest giving these a try. You will not be disappointed.
