June 13, 2022 ALL EPISODES OF VIGILANTE ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
Tim Miller is a famous search-and-rescuer in Dickinson, Texas, who's helped to locate more than 300 missing persons. After 38 years of searching, he’s now convinced that he’s finally solved his own daughter’s murder. In the first season of VIGILANTE, Allie Conti (NYT, Vice) explores the human cost of Tim’s singular obsession with the case -- from the people he’s falsely accused in the past, to his estranged daughter, to the current girlfriend he’s put in the crosshairs of a possible serial killer. As Allie prepares to interview the suspect in person, she grapples with whether she might be the latest victim of Tim’s vigilantism.

Cake Recipe:
300 g sugar
4 middle-sized eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
280 g wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2-deciliter milk (2/10th of a liter)
70 grams butter (lightly salted)

Topping:
130 grams butter
175 grams of coconut flakes
260 grams of brown sugar
1-deciliter milk (1/10th of a liter)

Whip vanilla, sugar, and eggs. Take your time: the longer you whip it, the better ;)

Mix baking powder with flour and gently turn it into the dough through a sieve so that the flour does not clump.

Cut the butter into small cubes and heat it in a pan with milk. Don't let it boil.

When the butter is melted, put it into the dough.

The whole dough comes in an ovenproof dish lined with baking paper.

I use an ovenproof dish of approx. 30 x 24 cm with a reasonably high edge, so there is room left for the filling.

Bake the cake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 175 degrees celsius hot air until almost done.

Topping:
Put coconut flakes, butter, milk, and brown sugar in a pan, bring to a boil while stirring, and remove from the heat immediately.

When the cake is done, take it out of the oven, which is screwed up to 225 celsius. Spread the filling over the cake and put it back in the oven - bake for another 6 minutes.

Let the dream cake cool and then it is ready to be enjoyed

Send us pics and vids of how your cake turned out!
