Danish Kagemand

Held my son's 5th birthday in the back yard, 40 + guests and amazing weather. This is his birthday cake:

Kagemand

1 1/4 cups water
4 oz butter
1 cup plain flour
4 eggs
pinch of salt.

Gently heat water and butter in medium-large saucepan. Add flour while stirring and leave to cool app. 10 min. Stir in one egg ad the time and add the salt. Spread onto baking sheet 0.2 inches thick and bake at 365 degrees until golden, app. 20-30 minutes.

So I made a triple batch for my kagemand and that left enough for 40 guests. The cake rises a lot while in the oven but collapses when taken out. If you make individual cakes about the size of a regular water glass they will remain more fluffy.

The icing was just powdered sugar and water and the candy random...

Have fun!
