Kladdkaka - Sweden's Gift to Chocoholics

My sister first introduced me to this Swedish cake several years ago, and has since become one of my go-to desserts. Quick, easy, and sinfully rich. It's called kladdkaka, or sticky (kladd) cake (kaka). Typical feedback on this cake includes the phrases heavenly, divine, and out of this world.

Now you've just got to try it yourself!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, melted;
• 2 eggs;
• 1 1/3 cup sugar;
• 1/8 teaspoon salt;
• 1/2 cup flour;
• 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder;
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract;

Preheat oven to 350º F. Lightly butter or grease 8" or 9" pan.

Cream together butter, eggs, and sugar. 

Gradually add salt and flour. Then add cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Batter will be light and fluffy.

Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 25 minutes, when the cake will be crisp-ish on the outside, and gooey on the inside. 

Serve warm with whipped cream, milk, or by itself.
