Roscón means “cake in the shape of a crown” and de reyes means “kings”, which gives us “crown of the kings”.

All over Spain, it is not usually Santa who makes the children’s eyes shine by offering gifts, but it is rather the Magi, to whom all the Spanish children write their letters of wishes.

Here's how to make roscòn at home:

INGREDIENTS

240 ml (1 cup) warm milk;

25g (2 1/2 tbsp) fresh yeast;

150 g (¾ cup) sugar;

800g (6 ½ cup) all-purpose flour;

2 eggs;

80g (⅓ cup) butter, soft;

a pinch of salt;

6 chocolate bars;

½ tsp vanilla powder;

300ml (1 ⅓ cup) cream;

500g (2 cups) mascarpone;

3 tbsp (80 g) hazelnut paste;

13 chocolate bars;

60ml (¼ cup) milk;

Chocolate eggs;

Chopped hazelnut.

METHOD

Whisk warm milk with ⅓ of the sugar and crumbled yeast.
Add eggs and whisk to combine.
Mix liquids with flour, vanilla, salt and butter. Knead until smooth dough forms.
Chop 6 chocolate bars and work them into the dough.
Place the dough into a bowl, cover and set aside for 1 hour.
Form the dough into a donut on a piece of baking paper, brush with egg wash and bake at 180C/350F for 60 minutes. Let cool down.
Beat cream until stiff peaks form, add mascarpone and hazelnut. Stir until smooth.
Spread cream between two halves of the donut.
Melt 13 chocolate bars with ¼ cup of hot milk.
Pour melted chocolate on top and decorate with chocolate eggs and chopped hazelnuts.
