Sjónvarpskaka með hvítt súkkulaði

Classic white chocolate TV cake

When you ask Icelanders what a “typical Icelandic cake” is to them, one name always comes up: Sjónvarpskaka. So “TV cake”. I already had a recipe for this in the blog, now I tried a different recipe, with more coconut in the dough and with white chocolate too.


Ingredients

For the dough

225 g brown sugar
180 g butter
2 eggs
200 g sour cream
1 Tbsp milk
1 pinch of ground vanilla
200 g wholemeal flour
1 tsp baker's ammonia
1 tsp baking powder
100 g coconut flakes

For the sprinkles

150 g brown sugar
120 g wholemeal flour
50 g butter
100 g coconut flakes
1/4 cup white chocolate chips


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

To make the dough, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs.

Stir in the sour cream, butter and ground vanilla.

Then add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix.

Finally add the coconut flakes and fold in.

Line the large baking pan for a loaf cake with baking paper and pour the dough into it.

For the streusel, first melt the butter.

Mix the brown sugar and flour together, pour in the melted butter...

...and knead with the coconut flakes.

Then spread the sprinkles over the dough.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for approx. 50 - 60 minutes.

Then let the cake cool thoroughly and carefully remove it from the mold

Well then - bon appetit!
