A simple king cake with chocolate icing for 2023. So make this simple king cake, no matter how late you finish your chores… So for the smell that will sweeten the house for the new year!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup sunflower oil
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of cognac coffee
- 1 package of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. machete zest of 1 lemon
- ** ~ FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLASS
- 250g couverture
- 120g of vitamins
- 2 tbsp honey
- ** ~ FOR THE WHITE GLASS
- 1 1/2 tbsp. milk
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
HOW I MAKE THIS:
Beat the eggs and 2 cups of sugar with the mixer until they are fluffy. Then gradually add the sunflower oil, orange juice, brandy, machete and lemon zest to the mixer. Sift the flour and baking powder and add them to our mixer.
Butter and flour a 28 cm pan and pour in the mixer mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for one hour.
For the simplest version of the king pie, when it has cooled, we sift powdered sugar on its surface.
However, if we want to impress our guests, we can garnish our king pie with chocolate icing. To prepare it, place the honey and chocolate couverture with the vitamin in pieces in a deep bowl. Cover with film and put in the microwave oven at 800 microwaves strictly for 2 minutes. When we remove it from the microwave, mix with a marise and pour over our king pie when it has cooled.
When our icing has cooled, we can place whatever we wish on it and write our wishes in white icing. To prepare it, mix powdered sugar with milk and honey with a spoon and fill a cone or, more simply, parchment paper in the shape of a funnel.
Bon appetit
