A Mardi Gras tradition, the king cake is served on Fat Tuesday as part of the feast, and a figurine of a baby or, alternatively, a dried bean is hidden within the cake. The person who receives this slice is, according to tradition, to have good luck throughout the coming year. Most King Cake recipes contain a lot of butter and eggs, but this version uses coconut milk and dairy-free soy margarine, so everyone has a chance at good fortune (and good food!)!
This recipe does take several steps, so feel free to prepare the filling and "sprinkles" a day in advance to ease party preparations.
