Cuisine: Danish
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the oven is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake the cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten. This will help to incorporate air into the eggs, making the cake fluffy.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the beaten eggs and mix well until combined. This will create a smooth batter base for the cake.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg and milk mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
- Fold in 1 cup of chopped cooked bacon into the batter, ensuring that the bacon is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or a similar baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the cake into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Flaeskeaeggekage with a side salad or on its own!
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use fresh eggs and high-quality bacon for the best flavor. If possible, opt for thick-cut bacon for added texture and richness.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, while gentle folding will keep it light and fluffy.
- Customize Your Cake: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or cheese to the batter for an extra flavor boost. Chopped chives or shredded cheddar can complement the bacon beautifully.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on the cake as it bakes. Use the toothpick test—if it comes out clean, your cake is ready to be enjoyed!
- Serve with Style: Flaeskeaeggekage is delicious on its own, but pairing it with a fresh side salad or a dollop of sour cream can elevate the experience even further.
