King cake is the cake of Three Kings Day on 6 January, and every country bakes its own. France has the galette des rois, puff pastry with almond cream. Spain has the roscon de reyes, a sweet bread ring. Portugal has the bolo rei, full of candied fruit.
A slice is about 350 kcal, with 6 g of protein, 45 g of carbs and 16 g of fat. The galette is the richest of the three, the bread versions a little lighter.
In New Orleans the king cake runs all through Mardi Gras season. Whoever finds the little figure or bean in their slice is king for the day.
Tips
- 1Cut thinner slices. Everyone still gets a chance at the figure.
- 2Have it with coffee or tea, not hot chocolate, if you want to keep it lighter.
