Sandwiching
two 8” rounds of puff pastry with frangipane (almond paste), and baking
until golden brown creates Galette Du Rois (a.k.a. Epiphany Cake).
Epiphany Cake is traditionally served on January 6, commemorating the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles in the persons of the Magi (Three Wise Men) During this time the cake is baked with a fava bean inside the cake, and comes with a “golden” crown. The person who finds the bean inside their piece of cake gets to wear the crown…. |

This
cake should be served at room temperature.
As this cake is actually formed with puff pastry it
is best to cut the cake using a serrated bread knife. (This avoids
crushing the cake’s delicate pastry.)

After serving the remaining cake should be wrapped and refrigerated. | ||
