The catch--it's in Danish and there are no instructions. I just have to remember what she told me when we made it together. It's a great cake, but mine will never rival hers, and it makes me sad.Laneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701175809911422925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324448.post-48346818254809513212011-03-08T00:15:56.940-05:002011-03-08T00:15:56.940-05:00Or, in the words of one of our yarn-store customer...Or, in the words of one of our yarn-store customers:<br />"Wow.

And for recipe writer/copiers - an alternative is tsp and tbl (But I"m glad the cake is so yummy anyway.
