Galette des rois cake

This is a simple thing to make (depending on how you get your puff pastry) and such a fun tradition. I used an almond as the fève, trying to keep it kind of rustic. Recipe from David Lebovitz, but with extra vanilla, of course!

I was just mentioning to my husband yesterday that we need to bake this (the kids came to the door to sing). I haven't for the past few years. Learnt how to bake it from a French friend some years back.

Yours looks delicious and so beautiful, Jon. Did you get the almond?

Thanks Lin, yeah I did (sheepishly) get the almond to the disappointment of the kids :-(

That looks amazing Jon, well done.  I've never made or tasted one of these, but see them posted on IG all the time extolling their virtues.  Another thing still on my list to bake.
