About the dish

The glaze appears among the desserts in the book and is meant both for ordinary cakes and for tin-baked cakes, where it is poured over once the cake is cold.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Boil the glaze

    Put the brown sugar, cream, butter and vanilla sugar in a fairly thick-bottomed pan. Boil for 12–15 minutes, or until thickened. Do not stir much while it boils.

  2. 2

    Stir until glossy

    Take the pan off the heat and stir the glaze a little so it turns glossy.

  3. 3

    Use the glaze

    Spread the glaze over the cake with a knife. For a tin-baked cake, pour it over once the cake has cooled. Once set, the glaze can be cut into slices.

Changes from the original

The old unit "del." is converted to dl and the teaspoons are written as tsp. The method is divided into three steps; quantities and times are as in the book.
