Twelfth Night Cake Recipe
Serves 8
This super-easy recipe is from "Larousse Gastronomique". It is traditionally
served on Twelfth Night. The "lucky bean" symbolizes baby Jesus. Whoever finds
the bean becomes king or queen of the evening.
9 ounces puff pastry
8 ounces frangipane (a hazelnut-sugar paste available in gourmet stores)
1 bean
Egg wash
Roll pastry into 2 discs, of equal size and each about 1/2 inch thick. Place one
disc on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Push bean into dough. (During baking,
the dough closes up and conceals the bean.)
Spread frangipane on disc, leaving a 1/2-inch rim uncovered. Brush edge with water or egg wash. Place top disc over frangipane. With a sharp knife, trace a decorative pattern. Brush with egg wash.
Bake at 475� F. until dark golden brown, 20-30 minutes.
