Although the name æblekage can be translated as apple cake, this traditional Danish dessert is a sweet treat that has more in common with a trifle or a crumble. It consists of a creamy, cinnamon-spiced apple sauce that is layered between crispy breadcrumbs or crumbled cookies.
It is usually prepared and served in bowls or decorative glasses, while the top is often covered with a generous layer of whipped cream. Enjoyed throughout the year, æblekage is always served cold, and it is recommended to garnish it with various fruit preserves.

Brunsviger is a traditional cake originating from the island of Fyn (Funen) in Denmark. The cake is made with a combination of flour, butter, milk, sugar, and yeast, while the sugary topping consists of butter, brown sugar, and milk or heavy cream.
The dough is placed into a square pan, flattened, and left to rise. Indentations are made in the dough with the fingers, and the sugary topping is then poured across the dough. The cake is baked in the oven until golden, and it’s always left to cool down slightly before it’s cut into square shapes and served warm.
