This January 6th is a special day for the family. The day of the kings not only means gifts for the children but also an opportunity to gather as a family and enjoy. Now, the star of the day can very well be the king's cake, but there are also other elements that complete the snack. Today we bring you our top 5: everything for the day of the kings so you can have a complete feast. King's Cake The centerpiece and key piece of this day. As tradition dictates, you must hide a small figurine that represents the baby Jesus inside the cake, and whoever finds it will have to bring tamales on Candlemas Day. Don't be scared by the ingredients in this recipe; it's actually not difficult to make, and we show you a step-by-step video. The result will be a sweet, fruity, and golden cake that your whole family will love.

The first is a bit simpler but retains the traditional flavors; this one requires a bit more ingredients and preparation time. You decide; both are very tasty, so it depends on your preference.

This is the typical recipe, made with a little water and milk along with the obligatory dark chocolate. If you add a bit of butter, you can make the chocolate silkier, and a pinch of salt will enhance the distinctive flavor of the cocoa. Make sure to serve it nice and hot.

In that case, we leave you the recipe for this spiced tea that goes perfectly with the fruity flavor of the cake. It only requires lemon, cloves, and cinnamon, but the flavor is extraordinary; try it, and you will love it.

The good thing about this recipe is that you can apply it to any filling you like, and in fact, you can make tamales in various flavors to please everyone.
