Sweet Dreams

I've already been back at work today and have no idea when the next holiday will be... In the meantime I think I will enjoy some Drømmekage, Dream cake I tasted in Denmark. Here is how to bake one:

For the Cake:  250g all-purpose flour (plain flour)  3 tsp. baking powder  50g butter  200ml milk  4 eggs  300g granulated sugar  1 tsp. vanilla extract  For the Topping:  125g  butter, softened to room temperature  50ml milk  100g dessicated coconut  200-250g 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. Grease an 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. Remove cake from oven and immediately spread the topping over cake and bake cake for an additional 5-10 minutes at 225 degrees C. 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. (I found this recipe online at Diana's Desserts:
