Mardi Gras King Cake
Festive New Orleans-Style King Cake with Cinnamon Swirl and Colorful Icing
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4–5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
5 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/4 cup melted butter
For the Icing & Decoration:
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Purple, green, and gold sanding sugar
Directions:
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk, melted butter, remaining sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours or until doubled.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 10x16 inches). Mix the filling ingredients, then spread evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough up jelly-roll style and form it into a ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pinch the ends together to seal.
Cover the ring loosely with plastic wrap and let rise again for 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely.
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to form a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake, then sprinkle immediately with colored sugars in alternating bands of purple, green, and gold.
Optional: Hide a plastic baby or dried bean inside after baking for tradition!

If you're craving a low-carb dish that's both satisfying and so easy to make, these Keto Ricotta Gnocchi are a must-try! Soft, pillowy, and simply divine, they pair perfectly with your favorite keto sauce or toppings.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese, drained
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
Directions:
1. Grab a large mixing bowl and toss in the drained ricotta cheese, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if you're feeling fancy). Mix everything together until a lovely dough forms.
2. Lightly flour a clean surface with almond flour to prevent sticking. Divide your dough into four equal portions and roll each one into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut those ropes into 1-inch pieces to create your gnocchi.
3. Take a fork and gently press down on each piece, creating ridges that will help capture your delicious sauce later on.
4. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the gnocchi and watch them float to the surface—this will take about 2-3 minutes. Once they do, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your cooked gnocchi and sauté until they’re golden brown and crispy, roughly 3-5 minutes.
6. Serve these heavenly bites warm, topped with your favorite keto-friendly sauce or toppings. Enjoy!
