The traditional king cake recipe is a simple way to make this delicious dessert. It is a ring covered with sugar and ate, just like the traditional Mexican recipe. No one will believe you made it.
Mix the yeast with the sugar and warm water, let it rest until it doubles in size.
Form a volcano with the flour, sugar, and prepared yeast, the eggs, milk, zest, and butter.
Combine all the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead it and slap it against the table until it is smooth, elastic, and does not stick to your fingers.
Let it rest in a warm place covered with a damp cloth until it doubles in size.
Shape and stretch the dough with your hands to form the ring, place it on a greased baking sheet. Let it rest in a warm place covered with a damp cloth until it doubles in size.
For the sugar dough, beat the vegetable shortening with the sugar and flour.
Glaze the ring with the beaten egg, divide the sugar dough into strips, and place it on the ring along with the ate.
Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown.
