The Ugliest King Cake/Monkey Bread for Holiday Recipe Club

Hey Ya ll, this is my third installment of the Holiday Recipe Club.

This is a cute little club by Erin over at Big Fat Baker.

This is where Monkey Bread meets King Cake.

The ingredients were bananas, bourbon and andouille sausage.

Well I picked bourbon. 

Yup! It is Fat Tuesday and this is my very sincere attempt at making this wonderful cake.

 This without a doubt has to be the ugliest cake I have ever made.

It did however taste very good. That is why I am so glad we do not eat with our eyes. So if you decide to make this, just close your eyes while you eat it.
