Notes: I use yellow cake mix. Feel free to use any cake flavor that you enjoy.
Use the end of a spoon handle, spatula, or chopstick to poke the holes in the cake. You want the holes to be fairly large to have the sweetened condensed milk into the holes. A fork will not make big enough holes.
I topped the cake with green, gold, and purple sprinkles. Green stands for faith, purple stands for justice, and gold for power.
t is a king cake tradition to hide a plastic baby figurine in the cake. Whoever finds the baby in their slice of cake is said to have good luck and has to bring the king cake to next year’s party.
You can buy tiny baby figurines at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IMAusx
This cake is best made the day before and refrigerated overnight.
Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
