For me, the sixth of January would not be complete without a home-made Three Kings’ Cake! This vegan version has an almond instead of a plastic king. The traditional recipe is made with sultanas, however I can also highly recommend the chocolate version. Simply replace the sultanas with 60 g of chopped dark chocolate.

for 8 person

Yeast dough
450 g	light spelt flour

80 g	margarine, cut into pieces, soft
4 tbsp	sultanas

How it's done

Yeast dough

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Add the oat milk, margarine and sultanas, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

To shape

Weigh out 8 portions of dough (approx. 90 g each), shape into balls, inserting the almond (king) into one of the balls. Shape the remainder of the dough into a large ball, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and arrange the small balls evenly around the large one, cover and leave to rise again for approx. 30 mins. Brush with soya cream, sprinkle with flaked almonds and sugar crystals.

To bake

Approx. 30 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, slide the cake onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
