Virtual Cookie Exchange

I was happy that Carol could squeeze me into this blog hop when I signed up late.

I’ve shown this recipe before but it’s one I keep getting comments about so I’m showing it again.

It’s NOT a cookie, it’s a cake recipe…..

This is called “Lagkage” in Danish which means layer cake, typically it’s a birthday cake but it can be served any time of year including Christmas!

This cake is BEST if you make it a day or two before the event as it needs time to set in!

Here’s the recipe

Ingredients

Yellow Cake mix (and the oil and eggs to follow the cake mix)

Raspberry Preserves

Vanilla Pudding mix (instant is ok)

Kijafa Cherry Wine- *we found some cherry wine at Aldi later or go with any sweet berry wine.

Whipping cream (for outside of the cake- you may want to add a bit of vanilla or sugar)

Instructions

Bake the yellow cake mix according to the box, I have one tall 9″ round pan but that takes 60 min to bake, but you can bake it any shape you like.

Also make the pudding ahead of time according to box.

After it’s cool, slice into 4 slices- it’s called a 7 layer cake because it’s supposed to be 4 cake layers and 3 layers of STUFF in between.

Take one layer and drizzle generously with the Cherry Wine

Now spread some raspberry preserves all over the layer and then add some vanilla pudding.

Now add another layer of cake and drizzle the wine, spread the preserves, add the pudding and keep going until all layers are done, sprinkle the wine on the top layer.

You can let the cake sit in the fridge for a day or two until you’re ready to eat, then whip up the whipping cream and put on a layer of “crumb coat”

Then go back with a piping bag and add the fun decorations

Have a glass of leftover win and enjoy!

  1. This looks mighty tasty and the idea of having it with some left over wine is a great one.

  2. I missed all the other times you posted it I guess as it is new to me. Looks totally delicious! Happy Holidays Bea!

  3. This looks absolutely spectacular – and delicious too! Would love a slice with the coffee I have sitting beside me right now.

  4. It sounds fabulous. I will have to keep an eye out for Cherry wine! Have a very Merry Christmas!

  5. It looks so delicious! I’m not a wine drinker, but this might be worth the effort of a trip to the store. Thank you for sharing, Bea! xo

  6. Hi Bea! This cake look yummy. We have always had a Danish layer cake for every birthday, and they look amazingly close to yours. Our town (Racine, Wisc) has a ton of Danish bakeries, so I’ve never made my own. But thank you so much for the recipe and great tips and pictures. I would love to give this a try someday sooner than later! It’s beautiful. ~smile~ Roseanne

    What a yummy looking cake, can’t wait to make it! Thanks for sharing!!!

  8. My husband loves anything cherry, so I might have to make this cake! (A cake is just a big cookie, right??) Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  9. Yum! Though I expect I’d be the only one at my house who would like it-Husband doesn’t like fruit in his desserts. He likes fruit fine as fruit, but not in desserts. Merry Christmas!
