The Kladdkaka recipe is a truly delicious Swedish cake. Just a few ingredients to make a cake that is truly a must-have for any lover of chocolate and cocoa. It is somewhere between brownie and lava cake. It is a soft chocolate tart, a true indulgence. This Swedish cake is covered on the outside with a thin, crispy crust, slightly caramelised by the generous amount of sugar, while the inside remains soft, moist, and creamy. It has an intense chocolate flavour with a hint of vanilla. It is simple but really enjoyable. Quick and easy to make, it is served on its own or with glazed raspberries, cream, icing sugar or cocoa cream.
Swedish Chocolate Cake
The special thing about the Kladdkaka recipe is that it does not contain any yeast. It is this characteristic that makes it a compact chocolate cake. The most likely reason for the absence of this important ingredient is that this chocolate cake was born in Sweden during the Second World War. Supplies were obviously scarce and yeast was not a priority.
How to Make Kladdkaka Recipe
Before starting, prepare the baking tin. Grease it and lay a sheet of baking paper on the bottom. Pre-heat the oven to 175 °C.
Melt the butter and leave to cool slightly. Sift the flour with the cocoa, add a pinch of salt and mix well. Beat the eggs with the sugar for 3 to 4 minutes, or until fluffy. Add the flour, a spoonful at a time. Continue beating until all the flour is incorporated. Now add the butter. Make sure the mixture is perfectly smooth. Pour into the tin and bake for 18/22 minutes. (Some people bake for 15 minutes, but remember that every oven is different). Take care not to overcook; the centre should remain moist and gooey, not dry.
After baking, leave it to cool for 15 minutes; it is very delicate when it is hot, so be careful when removing it from the mould to allow it to cool completely. To decorate, I used powdered sugar and raspberries. I glazed them with a drop of water and raspberry jam.
