Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C).

Step 2

In the bowl of an electric mixer beat together the almond paste, butter and powdered sugar until well combined. Then add eggs 1 at a time, beating in between each addition. Then add almond extract and salt and beat again. Lastly add flour and beat until combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Roll out puff pastry sheet onto a floured surface, making sure you have a flat rectangular with no seams remaining if your pastry came scored in any way.

Step 4

Cut out 2 10” inch circles with a dinner plate. Place one on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and set the other aside resting on a cutting board.

Step 5

Spread the almond cream on the circle on the cookie sheet leaving a 2” border. Brush border with egg wash, place “feve” or piece of chocolate anywhere in the cream.

Step 6

Place 2nd circle on top and press together to seal circles together.

Step 7

Create a decorative scallop along the edge of the circles by placing your two fingers at the top edge of the circle and pulling a butter knife towards you to pull the pastry towards you and create an indentation in the pastry. Continue all the way around the circle until a scalloped edge is formed.

Step 8

Brush the center part only of the circle with more egg wash.

Step 9

To firm up pastry before baking, place tray in fridge for 20 mins or the freezer for 10 mins.

Step 10

Bake at 400F (200C) for 25-30 mins. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 11

Slice into wedges. The guest that receives the slice of the cake with the “feve” or chocolate is King for the day!
