Gluten-Free King Cake for Mardi Gras
No food says Mardi Gras like a colorful king cake! If you want to partake in the festivities but follow a gluten-free diet, this gluten-free king cake recipe is just for you. Made with a Simple Mills Vanilla Cake Mix, it’s easy to make and still far more satisfying than anything store-bought. Not only is this recipe gluten-free, it’s also dairy free, using grapeseed or coconut oil instead of butter. When it's time to color your cake, look for green, purple and gold sugars that are naturally colored.
