King’s Cake protein

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 205°C/400°F. Butter a large baking sheet (about 30 x 38 cm) and line it with baking paper.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix the butter with the sugar with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add the almond flour, 2 eggs and the protein powder. And mix.

Step 3: On a lightly floured board, roll out the puff pastry into 2 rounds of about 25 cm in diameter, using a rolling pin. Then place the dough on the baking sheet.

Step 4: Pour the almond protein mixture (step 2) into the center of the dough, there should be a little space left at the edges. Add the bean close to the edge of the dough (to minimize the chances of finding it when tasting the cake).

Step 5: Cover with the second part of the puff pastry and join the edges of the two parts by pressing with a spoon to close the cake. Drill small holes in the upper crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 6: Whisk the rest of the egg and then with a pastry brush, spread the yolk on the cake.

Step 7: Bake for 20-25 min, until the dough is golden brown.

Step 8: Serve at room temperature with your favorite fresh fruit.

Step 9: Enjoy your meal!
