DANISH OVEN PANCAKE (AEGGEKAGE)



Danish Oven Pancake (Aeggekage) image

An Aeggekage is a traditional Danish oven pancake, usually served as a buffet item or as a dessert for a family holiday meal. It is a light, cake-like dish that is not too sweet and absolutely delicious with fresh seasonal berries and fresh whipped cream! (Think of it as a sweetened Yorkshire pudding). Just make sure you serve immediately, this pancake does not do well cold nor is it a good leftover. But chances are you won't have any remaining Aeggekage to worry about!

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for optimal creaming and emulsification, resulting in a smooth and consistent batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, creating a cake with a tender crumb.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even baking and prevent the cake from sinking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake to set and prevents it from crumbling.
