Drømmekage (Coconut-Vanilla Dream Cake)
Drømmekage means “dream cake” in Danish, and there’s really no better way to describe this cake. Just imagine the fluffiest vanilla cake covered in a sticky, crispy caramel coconut topping – a dream!
Makroner (Almond Cookies)
If you love the flavor of almond, you will absolutely die for these cookies. They are crispy and crunchy, and taste amazing with a cup of coffee or tea. They can also be incorporated into other recipes!
Æblekage (Apple Cake)
As the fall weather is starting to creep in, we’ve been finding ourselves craving all the warm, autumnal flavors and this æblekage is one that brings us lots of comfort!
Havregrynskager (Oat Cookies)
These crispy and thin oat cookies, flavored with orange and vanilla and drizzled with chocolate, are so easy to make and so yummy! Seriously, you will never meet a simpler recipe.
Pandekager (Danish Pancakes)
These beautiful pandekager may look like French crepes – but they’re not! Danish pancakes are thinner and have crispy edges, and are sprinkled with sugar or smeared with jam before being rolled up.
Fødselsdagsboller (Birthday Rolls)
If there’s one thing that Danes love, it’s bread. A birthday is not complete without a breakfast table decorated with Danish flags and these yummy, fluffy, cardamom-flavored rolls.
Marcipan (Almond Confection)
Almond is a classic flavor in Scandinavian baking, so learning how to make good homemade marcipan, or marzipan, is essential. We often use this marcipan on its own to make confectionery.
Vandbakkelser (Danish Choux Buns)
Danish vandbakkelser are little puffs of choux pastry, usually cut in half and filled with kagecreme (pastry cream) or whipped cream, and jam. This type of pastry is always delicious!
Kagecreme (Danish Pastry Cream)
In Denmark, kagecreme is an essential component of the Danish birthday layer cake, or fødselsdagslagkage. It’s also a component in many other desserts and baked goods, including pastries.
