A piece of sticky gooey chocoalte cake called kladdkaka

Kladdkaka is what the Swedish call a sticky gooey chocolate cake.  Honestly, I think it is the best cake I have ever had!  To me, it was much more like a brownie than a cake, it had a wonderful thin crust that added just the perfect amount of texture to go with the sticky gooey inside.  It was sprinkled with just a bit of powdered sugar and a few raspberries. Truly a heavenly bite.

This cake whips up in a hurry and literally in about an hour you can be enjoying this amazing Swedish dessert.  I bet you just might even have everything you need without a special trip to the store.  It is made with just 7 ingredients, flour, butter, cocoa powder, salt, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract.

In Sweden, they have a tradition called Fika which is a break that occurs two times a day usually for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.  It is a time for socializing and especially enjoying a cup of coffee and a pastry or sweet of some type.  Kladdkaka is a perfect Fika dessert to enjoy with a cup of coffee.  

Honestly after I ate my piece, I had to give the rest away, or it would have ended up in my belly.  Fair warning!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted
  • 6 Tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 cup all purpose sifted flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar optional for dusting
  • raspberries optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • In a saucepan over medium low heat, melt the butter.
  • In a bowl mix together the butter, flour, cocoa, sugar and salt
  • Gently whisk the two eggs and add them to the mixture along with the vanilla. Stir gently until it is all mixed together taking care not to over mix.
  • Prepare an 8" or 9" cake tin or springform pan. Line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper and then using a bit of butter, grease the top of the paper and sides of the pan, use a bit of cocoa powder to dust over the butter.
  • Pour the mixture into the dusted pan
  • Bake for about 25 minutes but do check it after about 20. You want the top firm and the inside gooey but not jiggly.
  • Let cool for about 30 minutes and then run a knife around the edges and invert on a cake plate if using a tin. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and garnish with a few berries.
