French Chocolate King Cake Galette Des Rois au Chocolat
French Chocolate King Cake Galette Des Rois au Chocolat
Friday, February 7, 2014
Every year,the first sunday mostly 6th january is consider as Epiphany, a christian feast day. This festival is celebrated with a king cake which goes either for brioche dough or pastry sheets with almond cream.Apart from almond cream, some of the king cake goes for apple sauce or for pears and chocolates.But our choice is always a rich almond cream prepared with almond powder, eggs,sugar and butter.
For a change, this time i prepared my king cake with almond cream and chocolate along with a small trinket (a porcelaine figurine). As per tradition,the person who get the trinket while having this cake is the king of the day. Earlier we usually get this king cake from the nearby bakery, since ever i tried my hands with this king cake for Epiphany am making myself at home,yesterday i prepared quickly a king cake with pastry sheets and chocolate almond cream instead of getting them from bakery.Sending to Siris Celebrating First Anniversary.
2nos Puff pastry sheets
1cup Almond powder
1/4cup Chocolate chips
2nos Eggs
1/4cup Sugar
1/4tsp Almond essence
1/4cup Butter (room temperature)
1no Egg yolk
1tbsp Milk
Melt the chocolate chips with two tablespoons of water in microwave oven for a minute, mix it well.
Beat the butter, sugar together in a bowl until they turns soft.
Add the eggs one by one and finally add the almond powder,melted chocolate,almond essence and mix everything well and keep the bowl in fridge for half an hour.
Preheat the oven to 400F, line a baking tray with a baking sheet, add the milk to the egg yolk and beat well.
Place a puff pastry sheet,brush the edges of the pastry sheet with the egg-milk mixture.
Transfer the already prepared almond mixture over the pastry sheet and spread them evenly,dont spread over the brushed egg mixture.
Place the another pastry sheet over and give a press over the edges,so that they get well stick...
Make a small hole in the middle of the pastry sheet and with a knife make some lines over the pastry sheet as ur desire.
Brush now the pastry sheet with the remaining egg-milk mixture and bake in middle rack of the oven for 20minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
