Also forgot to post pictures of the cake
Made according to this recipe that I transcribed from a YouTube video. I have no idea why it is called Danish cake, the author of the video is German, I think.
Te recipe calls for a 20 cm diameter loose bottomed tin but I haven't got one so I used a fixed 18 cm diameter one. I think that worked quite well. I baked it for forty minutes.
Ingredients for 20 cm diameter tin:
Filling
100 g almonds
100 g walnuts
50 g sugar
30 g softened butter or margarine (for the nut filling)
Dough
70 g butter (for the dough)
70 g sugar
1 pinch of salt
10 g vanilla sugar
2 eggs
120 g sour cream
170 g flour
7 g baking powder
Method
Filling:
- Grind nuts in food processor to breadcrumb size
- add sugar
- add softened butter
- mix with a spoon until well combined
- set aside
Dough
- Beat butter, sugar, pinch of salt, vanilla sugar until fluffy Use an electric mixer.
- Add eggs one at a time, beat until smooth.
- Add sour cream
- Mix the flour with the baking powder
- Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture.
- Mix gently with a spoon or spatula until it is all combined and smooth
- Line a 20 cm tin with paper. A loose bottom tin is best.
- place half the dough in the tin and spread it out flat
- cover with the nut mixture, set aside a few spoonsful for topping
- add the rest of the dough carefully and spread it flat.
- sprinkle the remaining nuts on top
- bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 35 to 40 minutes
