This Mardi Gras King Cake recipe is amazing! I love how the soft, buttery brioche dough pairs perfectly with the classic cinnamon-sugar filling, and the option for cream cheese or fruit fillings makes it so versatile. The festive purple, green, and gold sugars really capture the Mardi Gras spirit.

I have made this several times in the last couple of years. It is always good.
Thanks for the recipe.

Made this for my husband’s bday cake and a second for a team treat at work. Both turned out delicious! They are a spot on duplicate for really good grocery store king cakes. My hubs is Cajun and requests king cake as his bday cake every year. So far, this one is my (and his) favorite. Thank you!

In reply to Lori Kfoury. Hi, Lori, it shouldn't be any problem letting the dough chill overnight as long as you keep the plastic wrap on it. I'd suggest letting it sit out at room temp maybe 30 minutes or so before you're ready to roll it out. It needs to still be a bit chilled but at least workable enough to roll it out into a rectangle.

Hello, Thank you for the recipe. Do you think I could chill the dough overnight instead of 1 hour and it would be ok? Thanks! Lori

Every time I make a king cake I have trouble pinching the ends together, they always flatten out then explode ( come apart) in the oven. Please help. by the way even though it doesn’t look as good as yours the cake tastes amazing!

In reply to Theresa Mendl. It just needs more mixing.

Hi there, can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? I am mixing 2.5 cups of flour and the yeast, then adding the milk, and then the eggs, but the eggs do not incorporate into the dough.
