SUPER RICH, STICKY AND SUPER CHOCOLATY CAKE !
Kladdkaka is is a traditional, simply Swedish "fika" sticky, dark chocolate cake. This is not the same as brownie as it doesn’t contain baking powder, and it is more ”wet”. It's super quick to do and a favourite. This recipe is taken directly from the amazing @brinkenbakar (on IG) but you can also find her other (gluten) recipes on her own website. But we of course make this gluten-free using our own OhAh Pizza Mix.
It is suuuuper rich and deep chocolatey - and more like a French kladdkaka than a normal Swedish kladdkaka. My youngest daughter said it was almost too rich, and she would like the normal IKEA version just made with cocoa powder :-) So we may try that later as well.
But if you’re the adult in the room, and like dark chocolate flavoured cake.. then this is for you:
- 200 g butter
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 4 eggs (room temperature)
- 225 g caster/white sugar (2.5 dl)
- 80 g brown sugar (1 dl)
- 180 g flour (2.5 dl)
- 20 g cocoa (0.5 dl)
- 0.5 tsp salt
And you'll need butter and coconut, or GF breadcrumbs (if you prefer less flavour) for greasing the baking tin.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees fan/convection (175 degrees conventional oven) and grease a cake tin (22-24 cm in diameter) and sprinkle with coconut or breadcrumbs.
Melt the butter and then add the chocolate pieces to melt these with the butter.
Beat together the eggs, granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Slowly stir in the butter and chocolate.
Mix together the flour, cocoa and salt and then fold it into the batter, stirring until you have a smooth batter but no more than that (do not whisk it! You don’t want to add air into the dough). Pour the batter into the tin and bake for about 20-22 minutes depending on your size of tin. The cake is ready when it has set a little at the edges but is a little wobbly in the middle.
Let the cake cool in room temperature before serving.
We serve ours with slow-whisked whipped cream which takes about 20 minutes of constant slow whisking - but produces the most amazing velvety whipped cream you can get (and it holds it shape).
Enjoy
