Cinnamon Sugar King Cake
Cinnamon flavor has become the equivalent of “plain” king cake in most South Louisiana bakeries. This version starts with a rich brioche dough that, if you wanted a truly plain cake, could surely stand alone without any special flavorings. However, if you want a filled king cake, just use the technique below and instead of spreading cinnamon sugar over half the dough, spread a thin layer of sweetened cream cheese, a few dollops of your favorite pie filling, or a layer of caramel sauce studded with toasted pecans.Serves 12 to 15
