I'm surprised (and amazed) because it was an Emeril recipe, with about 500 ingredients, followed by 5 million steps- and, lots of time. I thought I was going to be able to knock this out while the kids were napping- nope! Turns out that it takes a while of just letting the dough sit around and rise, so, it took about 3 and a half hours.
Which made me really happy to see that it was successful!
I think I'm happy enough with my finished product to use this recipe for our mini-Mardi Gras party on...well, on Valentine's Day. We had people over last year on the Sunday before Mardi Gras- just a small thing after church. I ordered a King cake from a shop in New Orleans last year, but...that's pretty expensive with overnight shipping AND weekend delivery rates!
Anyway, my cake isn't properly decorated- I opted to use whatever sprinkles I had in the cabinet. It's officially a Valentine's cake, I guess.
It's not the prettiest cake, but it tastes pretty good! Except for the fact that I could have added more cream cheese filling- and will, next time!
