"Kladdkaka" may sound funny to our ears and not necessarily something edible, but behind it there is a heavenly chocolate cake from Sweden. The name is made up of the words "kaka" (Swedish for "cake") and "kladdig", which means something like "sticky". And Kladdkaka is actually a sticky cake, because the dessert is characterized by its juicy consistency. No wonder that the popular chocolate cake is often served with the Swedish coffee party, the "fika". You can easily bake it with our recipe:

- 3 eggs (size M)

- 1 pinch of salt
- 150 grams of flour
- Fat for the shape
- powdered sugar

Preparation of Kladdkaka
- Preheat the oven to 175 ° C top / bottom heat.
- Put the butter in a saucepan and melt on the stove, then set aside.
- Beat the sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs in a bowl until frothy. Mix the cocoa, salt and flour and stir into the sugar and egg mixture. Finally stir the melted butter into the batter.
