A French Classic revisited by Pierre Hermé for Le Royal Monceau, this Epiphany Cake of the Kings is the result of an astonishing flavor combination: lemon and hazelnut praline...
The “Médélice” cake is made from inverted puff pastry, deliciously luscious yet crunchy, topped with a delicate almond cream with notes of lemon. This cream, lighter than the traditional frangipane, brings roundness and softness after the first bite and makes all the difference.
Finally, the sweet roasted aroma of Piedmont hazelnuts, exacerbated by the acidity of the lemon flavor, brings a touch of crunchiness to the gastronomic experience. Delicately golden and topped with the iconic crown of the Royal Monceau, this cake will delight the food-obsessed at a much anticipated time, Epiphany.
