The participant took the recipe from her grandmother. Dream cake it outclassed the competition, and over time it gained wide popularity throughout Denmark. Interestingly, initially the baked goods had a name “Östergaardskagen”from the name of the farm where Jytte’s grandmother lived.
Over the years dream cake has become an extremely appreciated Danish specialty. You can buy ready-made mixtures of this baking in stores, but many people choose preparing it yourself. The classic version is characterized by a fluffy and delicate dough and the presence of aromatic and slightly moist coconut mass. It is thanks to it that the baked goods taste unique (according to some – like a dream).
There are plenty recipe variants – some people add to it chocolate, nuts or almonds. However, this does not change the fact that dream cake has become a permanent fixture in Danes’ homes and has been served during family celebrations and meetings with friends for years.
