BRUNSVIGER: DANISH COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the yeast and warm milk together and set aside while weighing the other ingredients. The yeast should start to foam after a few minutes, otherwise the yeast might be dead.
• Add the sugar, egg, and butter to the milk and yeast. Set the mixer on medium for a few seconds to combine.
• Add in the flour and salt, and slowly work the mixer up to medium speed. Knead until everything combines, forming a dough.
• Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, approximately 6 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and set in a warm place to rise for 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Grease a 9 inch by 13 inch pan and line with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the pan, gently stretching it to the edges of the pan.
• Set the pan in a warm place and leave the dough to rise until puffy and roughly doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter with the brown sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently to ensure the sugar is fully incorporated into the butter. Set aside to cool slightly.
• When the dough is almost risen, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Press your fingers into the dough to form deep dimples. Pour the topping over the dough, being sure to fill the dimples and avoiding the sides of the pan.
• Bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes. The dough will be puffed and the topping will be bubbling and gooey.

Steps:

• Dissolve the fresh yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk.
• Melt the butter and let it cool off before adding it to the milk.
• Add all-purpose flour and salt. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes or until it assemblies into a nice and smooth dough. You can with advantage use a kitchen machine.
• Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and let the dough rise into double size someplace warm. This takes about 30 minutes.
• Flatten the dough into a square with a size of about 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 inch). Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper covered oven plate. Let the dough rise for another 20 minutes. While the dough is rising prepare the sugar topping.
• In a small sauce pan; melt the butter and brown sugar. When the butter-sugar mixture is hot add the heavy cream and mix it together. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool off.
• Use your fingers to make indents into the dough. The indents should be deep and almost reach the bottom but without breaking through the dough. Also, make a small moat along the edge of the dough to keep the sugar topping on the top.
• Distribute the prepared sugar topping across the dough and bake the cake for 12 minutes in a 225 C (440 F) well-preheated oven.
• Let the cake cook off a little bit before serving it.

Brunsviger topping Stir the melted butter, brown sugar, syrup and cream into an even mixture. Heat the oven to 225 C convection. Line a cake tin of approx. 24 × 30 cm with baking paper. When the dough has finished raising, pour it into the tin. Poke holes in the dough with your finger, pour over the brunsviger topping and spread it around well. Let the cake rise a little more while the oven is heating up. Bake the cake on the bottom rack for about 20 minutes. Let it cool a bit, but it's best to eat the cake while it's still warm. Enjoy!
