3 kings Cake

Well, so here is the story, at home in Zurich, we've always got a 3 kings Cake on January 6th. Cause it is Epiphany. It's a sweet yeast dough that has raisins in it and in one of the buns, there is usually a plastic king figurine hidden. Whomever gets it will be king for the day. Usually with the cakes we bought there was a paper crown in it.
One of the things I want to do this year, is celebrate swiss traditions with my kids. So this is one of them, but you can't just go to HEB and buy such a cake. So I decided to make my own. I found a recipe, and made it, but the dough did not rise. Then I took my cookbook from 9th grade home economics class and made the yeast dough from there, but this one didn't rise as much either. This is what it looked like.
So I went to the grocery store today and bought fresh yeast and took another try. Don't get me wrong the one from Yesterday was yummy. But I wanted something more fluffy. So here is the link to the Recipe 3 Koenigs Kuchen, sorry it is in German. The dough rose so beautifully and here is what it looks like


Instead of a King, I put a piece of Chocolate (from Switzerland) into one of the buns. I am taking this to fellowship at my friends house tonight, how much more fitting can it be, since today is Epiphany. I hope it is as good as it looks. :)
