Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
You can make your cake in a cookie sheet, 9x13, (2) 9x9's, or (2) 8x8's depending on the thickness you are going for. I personally prefer a thick cake, but really it's just personal preference!
Never heard of “danish dessert”? Well neither had I until this recipe. It can be found near the Jell-o and pie crust in the baking aisle of the grocery store.
