From a very young age, I had this cake at birthday parties as well as normal Victoria sponge type cakes, even though I don't remember it much!! For those on my blog that don't know I was born in Denmark (my parents are English so don't worry) and always go back every few years, less now my dad has retired, we would eat a lot of Frikadeller's and this cake, plus the pastries as well. I decided to re-create it to see if I can do it again!

For this dish I calculated that this had about 50g of carbohydrate so for this, so for a Type 1 diabetic on a Short-Acting insulin Regime with 10g of carbohydrate to 1 unit of insulin, this would require 5 units of insulin.
