Dreikönigskuchen (Three King’s Cake)

Taking a little break from Healthy January to get ready for tomorrow’s Drei Könige (Three King’s Day- Epiphany). It commemorates the first two occasions on which Jesus’ divinity, according to Christian belief, was manifested: when the Three Kings visited infant Jesus in Bethlehem, and when John the Baptist baptized him in the River Jordan. In Switzerland we like to eat the King Cake (Dreikönigskuchen) a fun tradition where each person gets a piece of the cake and the goal is to find a little King hidden inside one of the pieces. The person who finds the King gets to wear the crown and be King for a day.
