Deliciously gooey Danish dream cake (drømmekage) – a favourite with a great many people. A soft, light sponge topped with the most glorious coconut layer – a topping that, in my opinion, should never be skimped on.
The cake is very easy to bake, and it stays beautifully soft and fresh if you store it in an airtight container once it has cooled.

Method
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan and melt the butter in it. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale, thick and fluffy.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together and fold half of them into the egg mixture. If you like, sift them through a fine-mesh sieve to avoid lumps.
- Then fold the milk and butter mixture into the egg mixture, followed by the remaining dry ingredients.
- Pour the batter into a greased traybake tin, or a traybake tin lined with baking parchment.
- Bake the cake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put all the ingredients for the coconut topping in a saucepan – heat until the butter has melted and stir until you have a smooth, even mixture. Turn off the heat and leave it to stand until the cake is ready.
- Take the cake out of the oven and spread the coconut topping over it – work quickly but gently – then return the cake to the oven for a further 8 minutes or so.
- Leave the cake to cool before cutting and serving.

Skal man varme fyldet først i en kasserolle?
Hej Sofia
Ja det skal man, det er beskrevet i punkt 7 hvad man skal gøre:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Mega lækker kage kan den også bages uden æg?
Hej Annemette
Tusind tak for de søde ord, det er jeg virkelig glad for at høre :
Jeg har desværre ikke forsøgt mig uden æg, så ved ikke hvordan dejen vil reagere og hæve op. Jeg vil nok anbefale at google en drømmekage uden æg, så du får en opskrift der er testet 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Lækker lækker kage jeg står dog og skal bruge en kage uden æg denne gang, kan man undlade?
Passer opskriften til ovnens bradepande ?
Hej Charlotte
Nej opskriften er til en bradepande på ca. 30×22 cm 🙂
Skal den laves i ovnens bradepande vil jeg nok lave 2 1/2-3 portioner 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man bruge mælk istedet for piskefløde til topping?
Hej Sara
Det har jeg desværre ikke prøvet 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
