Danish Brovst Dream Coffee Cake

Recipe #299474 | 40 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 8 , 1 cake (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Benthe (Danish)

This is the moistest and most spongy coffee cake I know. Back in the 1980 this was the one you got no mater where you went or what the occasion was. When I returned to Denmark after 18 years in the States, I remember getting this at my cousin’s house, and the first bite was like, memories of childhood and perfect summers. I had forgotten how good it was. My DB calls this the “ant cake” because once the topping is baked, the coconut flakes, does look like little ants.
