Bolo Rei Tradicional (king Cake)

Rae
Rae @LoveRae

In Portugal, over Christmas this is the most popular cake sold. This is the traditional way of making king cake. Tradition states that whoever finds the bean has to pay for the cake next year. A small metal toy is usually included inside the cake.

Nowadays any cake cannot be sold with either the toy or bean inside as it's classed as a choking hazard, however homemade one's still can be made in that fashion.
