It had been not difficult to imagine just how it’s created, how it tastes and just how much boyfriend will probably want it. Mind you, it is quite easy to keep happy him when it comes to desserts. Yes, I’m a blessed one. Or perhaps he is.Anyhow, I got into the site and simply followed the step-by-step instuctions that were combined with great pics of the operation. It just makes life much simpler. I could imagine that it is a bit of a effort to shoot photos in the midst of cooking in the kitchen as you will often have gross hands so I seriously appreciate the time and energy she put in to build this blogpost and recipe conveniently implemented.
With that said I’m empowered presenting my own, personal recipe in a similar fashion. Many thanks for the idea.
I had been tweaking the original formula to make it for the taste of my family. I’ve got to tell you it absolutely was a terrific outcome. They loved the flavor, the consistency and loved getting a delicacy such as this during a stressful workweek. They basically asked for lots more, many more. Thus the next occasion I’m not going to make the same mistake. I’m likely to twin the amount .

Do you fancy starting new year with a special, new cake? Finish the festive season with this wreath form of colorful, fruit filled pastry, Roscon de Reyes (King Cake) Spanish people celebrate Epiphany with.
Different countries, different traditions. Living in Spain I’ve just learned, they have a special cake served on the 6th January, Epiphany. This is the peak of Spanish Christmas holiday when all the family members sit together, changing presents. Kids are waiting for the three kings (Three wise men) bringing them gifts they wanted to have all year long. They finish lunch or dinner with this delicious cake, called Roscon de Reyes.
Although this tradition is brand new to me, I loved making and tasting this delicious cake. I have changed a couple of details to customise it the way my family likes it. Here is my version of King Cake:
Ingredients:
2 eggs
Icing:
How to make it:
2. In a large bowl, mix the 4 cups of flour, 2 eggs, yeast and milk mixture, water, butter, the pinch of salt and the honey very well until the dough gathers into a ball. If the dough is too wet, add some additional flour, a little at a time if needed to form a soft dough.
Meanwhile cut dried fruit and prepare cinnamon and fructose filling.
5. Use a rolling pin to roll it flat.
6. Cover the flat dough with the cinnamon and fructose mixture and sprinkle the dried fruit evenly on it.
7. Roll it up to form a rope.
8. Shape the coil into a ring, sealing the ends together.
9. Carefully transfer the dough ring to the prepared baking pan.
10. Make a couple of 1 inch deep cuts on the outside of the ring.
11. Put it into the 180 C (350F) degree preheated oven and bake it for half an hour. Check if it’s baked with a tooth pick or needle. Put it back if needed.
12. Prepare icing in a cup combine flour, vanilla, honey and some milk. Mix them until smooth. Put butter and the rest of the milk into a small pan and heat it. Pour the content of the cup into the pan, mix them together evenly. Then pour the mixture on top of the cake.
13. Sprinkle dried fruit on top to decorate.
