As a tradition, we bake this cake on the 6th of January (Twelfth night). We add a coin, a thimble and a dry bean to the batter. Whoever gets the bean is the king, who gets the coin should pay and who gets the thimble should wash the dishes.

Split 2 eggs, beat the egg whites until fluffy. Mix the soft butter with the sugar for a few minutes, add 2 eggs and 2 yolks, beat a few minutes more. Chop the almonds (keep 5 for decoration), and add to the batter, as well as the vanilla sugar and the beaten egg whites.
Put the batter in an oven dish and bake 1 hour in the oven at 160 degrees. Dust the top with powdered sugar. Cut a crown from a sheet of paper and use this sheet to dust with cacao a crown in the middle. Decorate the points of the crown with almonds.
