Description
With its crunchy-sticky caramel-coconut topping and its fudgy cocoa ripple, this cake has serious Girl Scout Samoa vibes. The recipe itself is a mash-up of two greats: whipped cream cake and Danish Dream Cake (Drømmekage). The batter, a technique that we picked up from baking legend Maida Heatter, starts with whipped cream as its base (there's no other fat or liquid!) and bakes into a fine-crumbed, light-but-rich cake. Once the cake is nearly finished, the Danish Dream Cake part kicks in: A coconut butterscotch topping is spread on its surface, then the cake is baked again until the topping is bubbling and bronzed.
