Get into the Mardi Gras spirit with a vibrant king cake roll filled with purple frosting and, yes, a plastic baby.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
For the sponge cake:
  • 8 eggs, divided, at room temperature
  • 11 tablespoons caster sugar, divided
  • 6 tablespoons milk, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Zest of one lemon
  • Green, yellow and purple food coloring
For the icing:
  • 2 cups butter
  • 8 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • Green, yellow and purple sprinkles
Instructions
For the cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a roll cake sheet pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together yolks and 3 tablespoons sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in milk, vegetable oil and vanilla until smooth. Sift in flour, cinnamon and cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip egg whites until frothy, then add cream of tartar. Whip at medium-low speed for 2 minutes, then gradually add remaining sugar. Whip on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
  4. Divide the batter into four portions and tint one purple, one yellow, and one green. Leave one portion natural colored. Pour the batters into the pan and swirl it together with a toothpick. Tap the pan on the counter to avoid air bubbles. Insert a king cake baby to be found by the lucky cake eater if desired, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until fluffy. Cake will spring back when touched. Remove parchment paper, and cool cake on a drying rack covered with a towel.
For the icing:
  1. With a hand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in powdered sugar one cup at a time, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Finally, add the milk slowly until desired consistency is reached. Add in extracts and purple food coloring.
  2. Ice the inside of the cake with about half of the frosting, and then roll it. Ice the outside of the cake and sides with the remaining frosting. Take a piece of parchment paper and pull the edges taught. Slide the parchment paper down the length of the roll cake to smooth the frosting. Sprinkle with green, yellow and purple sprinkles. Serve immediately.

Potato Cannolis
Think of these cannolis as two potatoes for the price of one, with a crisp potato shell filled with a cheesy potato cream.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
  • 1 (6 to 8-inch-long) russet potato
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • ½ cup cream
  • ¾ cup Gruyere
  • Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Chives, minced
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Create a few tubes by rolling aluminum foil up lengthwise on itself. Spray these with cooking oil. Slice the russet potato on a mandoline lengthwise, creating about 15 to 20 slices that are 6 to 8 inches long. Wrap each slice around the prepared tubes and place seam side down on a baking sheet. Brush the wrapped potatoes with butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
  2. Bake the potatoes for 8 to 9 minutes, until crisp and browned. Allow to cool slightly then remove from the aluminum foil mold while still warm. Set aside to cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Meanwhile, make the mashed potato filling. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the gold potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, warm the cream over low heat. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot and mash them well with the butter. Add half of the warm cream and mash until mixed, then add the remaining cream and half of the cheese. Mix well, then mix in the remaining cheese little by little until all of it is incorporated. Add the nutmeg then salt to taste.
  5. Allow the potato filling to cool slightly, then put it into a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe the potato filling into the cooled potato cannolis and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
