Competition Winner - Per's Danish Treacle Cake

Per wins this month's prize of 6kg of Shipton Mill's Finest Flour

This cake is a regional Danish classic. It's one of the easiest and best cakes if made properly. It's basically a thick, soft sweet yeasty dough with a topping of sugar/butter that melts and burns to a dark brown caramel-like substance.

In Denmark this cake comes in several versions. At home it's most popular as a birthday cake, often formed as a cake man or woman, or cut into rectangular pieces to be eaten for breakfast. My version is based on ten years of experimenting with the right ingredients, baking times and so on. See the recipe section or click the  link here for full details of this great treat.
