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.
