A traditional cake, typically enjoyed widely in France, I was introduced to this cake by my French friends and loved it ever since. The pastry dough is like the French croissant filled with a pasty almond paste. Typically it is only available in the cafes or bakeries exclusively for the month of January. Since it is a cake fit for the king, it’s usually on the pricier side but worth to enjoy as it’s only once a year.
This year, I decided to try making it at home since the ingredients are simple (except for the dough pastries you can easily get a pre-made one in the supermarket or baking stores). I’ll show you how this recipe is bullet-proof for first-timers like me baking this cake and share how this your friends and family will enjoy this cake – perfect for birthdays and bringing people together.
It’s a great recipe to keep for gatherings or when you’re hosting friends – as it’s not only delicious, the hidden feve in the cake element makes this a fun cake to enjoy together.
