Kladdkaka (Sticky Chocolate Cake)

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!
