Dikke koek

(Thick Cake)

Dikke koek (lit. thick cake) is a typical Dutch sweet bread prepared with flour, eggs, and milk. The bread is filled with currants, raisins, and succade (candied peel of citrus). The dough, which should look like a thick and heavy paste, is baked at a low temperature until the crust develops a crispy texture and a brown color.


Once done, dikke koek can be consumed warm or cold, and it is customarily paired with butter and brown sugar.
