Pear, Hazelnut and Chocolate Cake of the Kings

It won’t last long so let’s enjoy it while we can!!

Epiphany cake of the Kings!

If you’re not a huge fan of the almond version or if you want to try something different, give a chance to the pear, hazelnut and chocolate cake of the Kings!!

It is such a heavenly dessert!! The delicacy of the hazelnut, the sweetness of the pear and of course the final chocolate touch. Outstanding…

You can get your puff pastry from your usual supermarket (you will need 2 pieces in this case), but I strongly recommend to make your own puff pastry, it is so much better!

With the “Casserole&Chocolat-e” puff pastry recipe you will have enough to make this recipe. Just keep in mind to make it the day before.

I can even confess something to you: you can make this pie, without the bean, all year long!! It will be a highly appreciated dessert.

The utensils:

A mixing bowl and a whisk

A rolling pin.

Let’s bake a cake of the Kings! Long life to the King and the Queen!! 😉

The recipe, Chef!
