Description

Indulge in this Swedish Kladdkaka, a rich and sticky chocolate cake made with milled almonds and high-quality cocoa powder, perfect for any chocolate lover.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 ml (1 cup) sucanat or muscovado sugar
  • 4-6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (of good quality, like Valrhona)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (less if using salted butter)
  • 200 ml (7/8 cup) milled almonds
  • 4 oz (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: Rum or star anise infused flavoring
  • Optional: Poppy seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sucanat (or muscovado sugar) until well combined.
  3. Add the milled almonds, cocoa powder, and salt to the egg mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth.
  5. If using, add your choice of flavoring: a splash of Rum or star anise infused liquid, and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased and lined cake pan.
  7. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top if desired.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The cake should be set around the edges but still sticky in the center.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving.

Notes

For a different twist, try adding mint or licorice to the batter. Serve with whipped cream and bananas for a delightful treat. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. This cake is best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature.
