Kladdkaka

A Scandinavian snack built around butter and sugar — on the table in 40 minutes.

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1.25 cups Sugar
• 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
• 2 Eggs
• 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream

Steps

1. Melt the butter and whisk in the sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and salt until glossy.
2. Beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour just until combined — no more.
3. Bake at 350°F for exactly 14–16 minutes; the center must wobble like set custard.
4. Cool 20 minutes — it sinks and cracks, which is correct — and serve with softly whipped cream.
5. Kladdkaka is Sweden's sticky chocolate miracle: underbaked on purpose, gone by accident.
