Brennan's unveils new Almond King Cake for Carnival Season

King Cakes by Brennan's burst on the King Cake scene back in 2020 and made their claim to fame with a "Regal Trio of King Cakes" of Traditional, Pink Parade and Bananas Foster king cakes. Already a fan favorite, Brennan's has just announced a new custom king cake, the Almond King Cake. Their buttery dough is lightly sweetened with splashes of orange and lemon zest that brightens this irresistible flavor combination of layers of Frangipane, a creamy almond filling - made in-house by finely processing blanched almonds and sugar together. Then it is crowned with toasted almonds for added texture and decadently dusted with powdered sugar. The Almond King Cake is only available at the King Cake Hub and Congregation Coffee.

The Almond King Cake is the French Connection to the "Royal Trio" of beloved King Cakes by Brennan's. This includes the Traditional King Cake - a classic King Cake with Cinnamon, baked to a golden brown. To finish, a glaze of frosty White Icing is sprinkled with the symbolic hues of Carnival. The Bananas Foster King Cake - inspired by the popular flamed dessert invented at Brennan's, New Orleans, is a delicious blend of Cinnamon, Brown Sugar, and Honey, with Banana Liqueur and Vanilla. It is filled with a Banana-flavored Cream and topped with a Butter Rum, Brown Sugar Icing. And keep the "Pardi" going with the Pink Parade King Cake - a rosy-hued beauty inspired by the deep-pink façade of Brennan’s, and filled with a light-and-airy Strawberry Cream Cheese. It is covered in Pink Icing, topped with White Chocolate, White Chocolate Croquant Pearls, and a showering of pink Cocoa Butter.

Brennan's King cakes have quickly become well-known and loved because of their unique taste and freshness. Each of their king cakes begins with a proprietary dough recipe of all-natural flour, yeast, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, malt syrup, salt, nutmeg, and orange zest which yields a light and fluffy cake with moist, brioche-like texture. Before baking, their dough undergoes a unique, natural process called tangzhong, with origins in Japan, which enables the cake to remain fresh for an entire week without any additives.
