Steps:
- FOR THE CAKE ~ Put 1 1/2 cups of the flour (plus another 2 tablespoons of flour) into a bowl & make a hole in the middle. Into that hole put the yeast & mix it with a pinch of sugar & a bit of lukewarm milk.
- Dust the mixture with flour, then cover it with a cloth & let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Add the melted butter, salt, lemon, cardamom, 1 egg & egg white (the 2nd yolk is for another purpose), along with the remaining milk & flour, to the flour-&-yeast mixture, kneading the dough until it is smooth.
- When the dough begins to form a ball, stir in the raisins & dried fruit, then form the dough into a log.
- Cut off 1/4 of the log & divide that fourth into 4 equal parts, forming balls from each smaller part.
- Divide the ramaining log into 4 parts & form larger balls from each of those parts.
- Liberally grease a springform pan with a central tube, & place the dough into the pan, alternating large & small dough balls.
- Cover the pan & set it in a warm place so the dough will rise again.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small container beat the egg yolk to a smooth consistency.
- Brush the dough with the beaten yolk & place the filled pan in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
- Cool the cake thoroughly in the pan on a wire rack before removing it from the pan.
- FOR THE FROSTING ~ Mix the powdered sugar & lemon juice to an icing consistency (not too liquid) & ice the cake, decorating it with the cherries. In Germany, a small gold crown made of foil is often placed in the middle of the cake.

ROSCA DE REYES - THREE KINGS CAKE
The Day of Kings (el Dia de Tres Reyes), or Epiphany, is celebrated on January 6 to commemorate the day the magi arrived bearing gifts for the infant Jesus. The Day of the Kings is observed by Latin cultures with the making and eating of a rosca de reyes, a sweet bread on the order of Louisiana's King cake, with a hidden tiny plastic baby (or a dried bean), representing the baby Jesus, inside. If you get the slice with the "baby", you will have good luck all year. Traditionally served with delicious Mexican hot chocolate. From the El Charro Cafe in Tucson, Arizona.

- Mix the raisins with the rum and let soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight (optional). If kids should eat the cake, you can skip the step with the rum and use the raisins plain.
- Crumble the yeast and add to a small bowl, mix with some lukewarm milk and a little of the sugar until the yeast has dissolved. Add the flour to a large bowl, make a well in the center, and pour in the yeast milk. Let stand for about 5 minutes, then add the remaining milk, sugar, lemon zest, salt, and butter and knead everything for about 10 minutes until you get a nice and smooth dough. Right before the end of the kneading time, add the (soaked) raisins and knead in. Cover the dough in the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours until doubled in size.
- Knock the air out of the dough, weight out 8 portions of dough with approx. 3.2 oz. (90g) each and shape each dough portion into a ball. Shape the remaining dough into a ball as well and “hide” the almond or hazelnut in one of the balls. Make sure that the raisins in the dough are not sticking out of the surface of the balls, otherwise, they will burn during baking. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment, place the large ball in the center and arrange the smaller balls around it. Cover everything with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Whisk the egg and then brush the risen dough balls with it, sprinkle with some pearl sugar crystals and sliced almonds, then bake in the lower third of the oven for about 28-30 minutes. If the king cake gets a little dark towards the end of the baking time, simply cover with some aluminum foil and continue baking. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
