Chef's Dream Cake...a cake from Greenland

So my daughter told me she needed my help with an upcoming project.  Always eager to help I asked her what she wanted from me.  She needed my help in translating a recipe from Greenland and baking a cake.  Ok this is something I know a thing about....so I delved into the recipe...needed to tweak it and then helped her bake up a chef's dream cake.  I
We didn't cut into it because she needed it for class but I am curious to see how how it turned out....

Maybe you want to give it a try....

Chef's Dream Cake


1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
 3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk

For the topping

1/2 cup butter
1 1/8th cup shredded coconut
1 1/8 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the sugar and the eggs together.  In a separate bowl sift together the flour and baking powder.  Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar and egg mixture.  In a small saucepan warm the milk, butter and vanilla together.  Pour into cake batter. Line a greased 9 x 12 inch baking pan with parchment paper.  Pour cake batter into baking pan. Bake approximately 20 minutes til knife inserted comes out clean.

Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients in saucepan on medium heat till it bubbles.  When cake is out of the oven pour filling on top of cake and spread evenly, keep cake in oven for an additional 5 minutes.  Remove and let cool.

Enjoy!
