King cake with almonds, chocolate and Grand Marnier
Like every year, on a tout le mois de janvier pour fêter les rois (et la nouvelle année), et ça tombe bien car la fin du mois est proche ! Bon comme on dit mieux vaux tard que jamais et c’est pour moi une tradition de vous présenter chaque année une galette des rois différente. Vous pourrez donc retrouver une galette des rois with almond cream et une couronne des rois briochée à la fleur d’oranger.
Cette galette, c’est quand même la quatrième que je prépare depuis le début du mois, SO, pour finir en beauté j’ai voulue une version un peu différente. Almond of course because I like it, but also chocolate chips for treats, all flavored with Grand Marnier…. hmmmm…
And then don't act like me sometimes, don’t forget the bean(s) (yes here we draw the king and the queen !) in the cake, you risk being disappointed !!!
