Ingredients
Eggs, medium size – 2 pcs.
Butter – 25 g + for greasing parchment
Milk – 80 ml
Sugar – 125 g
Wheat flour – 125 g
Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
Vanilla sugar – ½ teaspoon *
For pouring syrup:
Butter – 60 g
Milk – 2 tablespoons
Brown sugar – 100 g
Coconut flakes – 40 g
Directions
Combine eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar.
Melt the butter in the microwave, add the milk and stir. Pour this mixture into a bowl of eggs.
Sift the flour and baking powder through a sieve and add to the rest of the ingredients.
You will end up with a fairly thin batter dripping from the spoon. Prepare a baking dish – line it with parchment and be sure to grease the parchment with butter or vegetable oil.
Pour the dough into a baking dish and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the coconut filling syrup. Melt butter in a frying pan, add milk. Add brown sugar, bring to a boil and cook for about 1 minute. Then add the coconut flakes.
Meanwhile, the muffin cake is browned and almost baked.
Remove it from the oven and pour the coconut icing on top of the cake, gently spreading it over the surface of the cake.
Place in the oven again for 10 minutes to set and bake the frosting.
Cool the finished Danish “dream cake”, carefully remove from the mold. The sweet syrup turned into coconut caramel, and the butter soaked the cake so it was moist and delicious, just a dream pie.
Let the coconut cake cool and then cut the Danish cake into slices. Bon Appetit!
