How To Make sweet essentials: danish dream cake

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 3
  The Cake
• 
  Step 4
  Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 400 F/205 C.
• 
  Step 5
  In a blender fitted with a whisk attachment, or using a stick blender, whisk the eggs and sugar until they are light and fluffy.
• 
  Step 6
  This step is important. You need to get as much air into the mixture as possible.
• 
  Step 7
  In a small saucepan, melt the butter, and then combine it with the milk. Do not let it boil, just get it warm enough to melt the butter.
• 
  Step 8
  In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together, then carefully add them to the fluffy egg mixture.
• 
  Step 9
  Carefully fold the ingredients together. You want them blended, but you want to lose as little of the fluffy air that was beaten into the egg/sugar mixture as possible.
• 
  Step 10
  Add the milk/butter and fold carefully.
• 
  Step 11
  Add the batter to a buttered cake pan with high sides.
• 
  Step 12
  I am using an 8-inch pan with 2.5-inch sides, and it worked perfectly.
• 
  Step 13
  Bake in the preheated oven for 18 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be a nice golden brown.
• 
  Step 14
  While the cake is baking, make the topping (recipe to follow).
• 
  Step 15
  Pour the topping over the cake and smooth it out.
• 
  Step 16
  Place back into the oven, and bake until the topping is bubbling, about 5 – 7 minutes.
• 
  Step 17
  Allow to cool in the cake pan before removing.
• 
  Step 18
  The Coconut Topping (prepare while the cake is baking)
• 
  Step 19
  Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• 
  Step 20
  After the butter melts, remove from the heat, add the sugars (brown and white) and vanilla, then stir.
• 
  Step 21
  Add the milk and coconut, then stir to combine.
• 
  Step 22
  PLATE/PRESENT
