Recipe: Danish Drømmekage (dream cake)

Directions

• Cake
• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare 9×13-inch baking tray or pan. Grease and flour the tray or use parchment to line the tray so the cake doesn’t stick to the tray.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
• Melt the butter over low heat, Once melted, stir in milk and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
• Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the egg and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk-butter mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, you want a smooth batter.
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it out evenly.
• Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and almost ready.
• Topping
• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, shredded coconut, and milk, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir this mixture for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly and set aside for when the cake is ready.
• When the cake is ready, carefully spread the coconut topping evenly over the cake. Bake the cake for another 5-10 minutes.
• Allow the Drømmekage to cool in the pan for a while before cutting it into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your homemade Danish Drømmekage!
