RECIPE BELOW!!!⚜️I go through every step of making this delish Twelfth Night Cake, and man oh man, it’s a slice of total goodness! 🎉 Been wanting to make a vegan version, and every person that has tried this over the years LOVES IT. Sugar, cinnamon, butter, beautiful colors… I mean, what’s not to love?!

King Cake dates all the way back to the Renaissance. The Twelfth day of Christmas is the day the 3 wise men reached baby Jesus! A circular cake was made , symbolizing the circular path to and back from Jesus, as they went home another way to avoid King Herod. A trinket, bean, or plastic baby was placed inside to symbolize baby Jesus or the new year, and whoever received the piece on Twelfth Night was named King of the Revelries! 👑 It marked the beginning of the Mardi Gras season, which ends at the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. In today’s tradition, whoever receives the trinket is responsible for bringing the next King Cake to the party OR even hosting the next party!

Traditionally, this was eaten only on Twelfth Night, however we Louisianian’s indulge in this treat the entire Mardi Gras season! 💕

🤤 This cake is SO. MOIST. & FRESH!! It’s soft, sweet, and a beautiful display of colors!! It’s so perfect for Mardi Gras!!

🌱 IT’S COMPLETELY VEGAN!! We use aquafaba as a binder and rising agent, and almond milk and vegan butter. Even with these substitutions, I guarantee you and your friends will not be able to tell a difference! 👏🏻🎭 This cake just takes a little time & patience. , and it’s TOTALLY worth it! 🤤

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
