| Comments: Originally called Drommekage fra Brovst (comes from the Brovst region of Denmark), this Danish Dream Cake is truly divine...a one-of-a-kind comfort food. Note from Diana, Diana's Desserts: Remember to read this recipe thoroughly as the topping is spread over the baked cake, then placed back in a 225 degree C/425 degree F oven to bake for another 5-10 minutes. |
Ingredients:  For the Cake: 250g (8.82 oz./2 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour (plain flour) 3 tsp. baking powder 50g (1/2 stick/2 oz./1/4 cup) butter 200ml (7 oz.) milk 4 eggs 300g (10.5 oz./1 1/3 cups/) granulated sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract For the Topping: 125g (1 stick/4 oz./1/2 cup), butter, softened to room temperature 50ml (1.69 fl. oz./approximately 1/4 cup) milk 100g (3.5 oz./1 1/3 cups) dessicated coconut 200-250g (7 to 8 1/2 oz./1 to 1 1/4 cups) muscavado sugar, or light brown sugar |
| Instructions: For the Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine all topping ingredients. Set aside until ready to spread over cake. For the Cake: Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F. Grease an 8 or 9-inch (20-22cm) square or round baking pan. If desired, line baking pan with parchment paper, then grease paper. Sift the flour with the baking powder. Melt the 50g butter and mix with the 200ml milk. Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, then fold in the flour mixture. Lastly, fold in the butter and milk mixture. Pour into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center of cake comes out clean (leave oven on and set to 225 degrees C/425 degrees F). Remove cake from oven and immediately spread the topping over cake and bake cake for an additional 5-10 minutes at 225 degrees C/425 degrees F. Cool cake completely on wire cooling rack before serving. Cut cake into squares (or wedges, if baking cake in a round pan). Makes 12-16 servings. |

The family loved the cake. Any chance of making the topping less sweet?

Danish student teachers at my school for 6 months practice make this each time we bid farewell to them - It is DELICIOUS, and goes very fast! Ours are served, decorated with miniature Danish flags.

Add a cup of coffee to the filling. It makes it less sweet and adds a wonderful flavour.

This is GREAT! I am actually Danish and all I can say is that it represents the Danish version 100%! It's a GREAT cake. The only thing I'd say is that I'd put a bit more filling on top, and bake that for a little bit longer (just because it's the best part of the whole cake).

I am actually from Denmark, grew up there and there is no place like Denmark because it's a lovely country, and that is just proven by this cake. It's the best cake in the world. My Mum used to make it for us when I was growing up In Denmark. I love you Mum. Your're the best Mum in the world.
