Over the past year, I have learned a lot about Sweden and the people here. One of the things I have definitely learned about Swedish women: they know how to bake. Every time Nick and I go to a Swede's house for dinner, the food is always good and the dessert amazing. Today, I'm going to share a recipe for Swedish Kladdkaker, which is similar to a mud cake, or my personal favorite dessert- lava cake from restaurants. Yum!
my first kladdkaker! |
3 dL strosöcker (sugar)
5 mL vanillinsocker (vanilla sugar, or vanilla back in the US)
60 mL kakao (cocoa)
1.5 dL vetemjöl (flour)
1 mL salt
1 dL smält smör (melted butter)
Spread in a pie tin or 23x33 cm (9x13 in) pan, and bake in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for 30 minutes. The kladdkaker should be slightly 'jiggly' in the middle- it won't look 'finished', like brownies or cake do when they are completed.
To make my kladdkaker pretty, I dusted it with some powdered sugar. Then, serve it with ice cream & chocolate sauce and you've got a delicious kladdkaker!
