Kladdkaka (Gooey Chocolate Cake)

This was my favourite chocolate cake when I lived in Sweden. It should be gooey, so don’t cook it too long, and ideally it ought to be served with cream and perhaps some strawberries or raspberries. You can also top it with frosting, as desired.

 

Ingredients:

1 vanilla pod (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

½ cup flour

4 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tsp salt

½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

 

Instructions:

1. Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Whip the eggs, vanilla seeds (or extract), and sugar together until light and fluffy.

2. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together and mix with the salt and oil.

3. Blend everything together and pour into a lined cake tin.

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 165 C.
