Three kings cake recipe

To mark the occasion, Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs have created this Three Kings' Cake which follows the traditional version served in Northern France. A bean, or “fève” is hidden in the cake and the person whose portion contains the bean is crowned king or queen for the festivities. The cake differs from one region to the next, with different countries taking slightly different approaches, but Parisians know it as a flat, round puff pastry cake filled with a thin layer of almond cream.

Rosca de Reyes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. Traditionally, they are not filled, but I really like the flavors of buttery cinnamon rolls and wanted the same comforting flavors. Traditionally, the bread is garnished with “jewels” to represent a crown. Usually a small clay or porcelain doll is baked inside, but I added a plastic baby doll after it was baked and sneaked him into one of the slits.
