Danish Dream Cake

If there’s one thing everyone seems to agree on it’s that this Danish Dream Cake is absolutely delicious. What sources don’t seem to agree on is its origin story. Some say that a young Danish girl entered her grandmother’s secret family recipe in a baking competition and won the whole thing, making it famous throughout the country. Personally, I love that version of the story so it’s the one I’ve chosen to believe.

It’s called Dream Cake because it “tastes like a dream!” We can certainly get behind that. Essentially, it’s a simple homemade cake base that’s partially baked and then topped with a thick layer of saucy shredded coconut. It’s returned to the oven for about 10 minutes to get toasty and caramelized. The final result is completely mouthwatering.
