You may have noticed that I have been on a honey kick lately. I just posted about Honey Sweetened Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Honey Sweetened Ice Cream. All of this was spurred by a desire to create some treats that do not use refined sugar. Well, I've done some research about why this might be beneficial to the human body and I've learned some interesting things.
Not only that, but I've discovered a great way to make cupcakes without refined sugar, including the frosting, which if you ask me, is quite the amazing feat! So, read on!

When I was in Georgia, a good friend of my SIL came over to visit. We discovered that we both have Danish heritage and are interested in recipes from that country. He told me about this Danish Dream Cake that he has learned to bake and he texted me the recipe so that I could try it for myself! I was finally able to bake it the other day and first of all, I was amazed at how simple it is to make! Secondly, that caramel, coconut topping is so good that I could have eaten the entire panful with a spoon immediately! (If I didn't have such wonderful self control, Ha Ha!) And one more thing is that the cake itself is very light and spongey. It is no wonder that this is such a popular cake in Denmark! I tweaked the recipe just a bit after researching it more, so today I am sharing the recipe that I used, adapted from Skylar's recipe. Thank you Skylar! The backstory of this cake is that in the 1960s, a young girl entered her grandmother's recipe into a national baking contest and she won! The cake has been popular in Denmark ever since. I can't help but wonder where her grandmother got the recipe, but I haven't found out that tidbit anywhere. I mean, coconut seems like an unusual ingredient for Denmark, doesn't it? Well, whatever the rest of the story is, this is one great tasting cake. Here are a few tips when baking this cake:
The topping is so good, I am tempted to make it all alone and use it as an ice cream topping. Or, just serve some ice cream with your slice of Dream Cake. You will love it! Other Danish Recipes:

Thank you for your support. A few days ago I shared a recipe with you that used dried apples, not reconstituted. It was a fabulous recipe for Dried Apple Oatmeal Cookies. I mentioned in that post that sometimes you reconstitute apples to use them when baking and sometimes you don't have to. A few people have asked me about how to reconstitute them, so I thought I would share the simple process with you, plus give you a recipe for Apple Crisp using dried apples as well. (I think I also mentioned that in the cookie post.)

I've been very blessed this season with free peaches from a few different sources! I've already canned some and juiced some. But, you can't get nice fresh peaches without making cobbler! There are many types of cobbler. A popular recipe with campers is the cake mix style recipe. (Lindsey's fav), and I blogged about a blueberry version here. There is the biscuit topped style and there is the cake-like style such as Essie's Cobbler that I gave you the recipe for here. I was having a conversation with someone lately about what kind of cobbler we love. She mentioned that her mother used to make cobbler with a pie crust type topping. That is also the type of cobbler that I remember the most from my childhood. Although I have various varieties of cobbler recipes, funny enough I do not have the recipe that I remember the most! I figured that it had to be pretty straight forward, because a pie crust topped cobbler seems synonymous with what people call a slab pie today, except there is no bottom crust! |
