Danish
Grandfathers Beard Cake is an old-fashioned Danish cake. This has
been around for many years. This cake recipe is so easy to make. What
makes the Danish Grandfather's Beard Cake amazing and different is
that there is a meringue topping.
It is a showpiece to serve this homemade dessert to your
guests because of it's grandness. This is a surprising mix of cake,
fruit compote and a meringue on top.
Cake
Ingredients:
1
box cake mix
5
oz softened butter
3
eggs
1
teaspoon of vanilla extract
Fruit
layer:
1
10oz bag frozen mixed fruit - thawed
1
jar peach preserves
Meringue
Ingredients:
4
eggs whites
1/3
cup sugar
½
tsp vanilla
Cake
Instructions:
pre
heat oven to 350 degrees
Grease
& flour the pan.
Follow
package directions for cake mix and pour into cake pan.
Spread
it out with a spatula until even.
Bake
for 30 minutes and remove from oven
Raise
the temperature of oven to 400 degrees.
Drain
the fruit
Open
the jar of peach preserves and microwave for about 25 – 30 sec,
just until it comes out of jar easily into a sauce pan over medium
heat.
Stir
in the drained fruit and heat while making meringue, stirring
occasionally so it doesn't burn.
Now
the secrets to great meringue:
Always
use steel or glass bowl. Not plastic.
They
must be completely cleaned! Any bit of grease or oil will break down
the meringue.
Egg
whites must be pure; if you get a little yolk in them, pitch the bowl
and start over.
Beat
on high until the peaks start bulging out in front of your beaters.
This
takes about 8 minutes.
At
the half way mark (4 minutes) stop the mixer and scrap down the sides
with a spatula and then add the sugar & vanilla, resume beating.
Now
when meringue is ready, spoon out the hot fruit mixture over the
cake.
Then
spoon out the meringue and smooth with a spatula. Smooth all the way
out to the edges.
Return
to the oven for another 15 minutes. The top will have a nice
golden color and a tiny bit crusty.
Remove
to cooling rack and let cool completely before serving.
Just
the thing to serve my Master Indy and guest.
