Earlier this month, we celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany and I made big plans to write about the beautiful foods that I prepared for my family. Well, life is always so very busy and big plans are often times foiled by life’s little annoyances. After a dead battery and a truck stuck in the mud on the coldest day of winter, I realized that baking elaborate Three Kings Day bread wasn’t going to happen.

Three Kings Cake is usually served on January 9, but it can, of course, be made any time of year. The tradition is that a bean is baked in the cake and the person who gets the bean gets to be king or queen for the day or luck throughout the year. A similar tradition is also practiced on Mardi Gras.  The traditional Three Kings bread is studded with candied fruit and shaped in a pretty braided ring. Fortunately, I was able to make a similar cake quickly with the ingredients that I had on hand.

This cake is a healthy dessert that can be prepared in 10 minutes.
