How To Make A Vegan Mardi Gras King Cake | The Vegan Test Kitchen

This tender, braided King Cake is everything we need in the world right now, and the perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras. With a buttery sweet cinnamon filling, smothered in icing, and sprinkled with sugar in the festive colors of New Orleans, you’ll have so much cake you’ll have to share with everyone around you…unless of course you’re celebrating Fat Tuesday the right way.
