Kladdkaka

This incredibly popular Swedish cake is so simple (only 4 ingredients!) and fast to throw together but the results are rich, decadent and delicious.

Ingredients

Kladdkaka

  • 100 g 7 Tbsp butter
  • 200 g 7 oz dark chocolate
  • 200 g 1 cup sugar
  • 200 g 4 eggs

White Chocolate Ganache Glaze

  • 200 g white chocolate
  • 100 g cream
  • 1-2 cups fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
  • Butter and flour a springform pan, coating it with cocoa powder on the bottom and sides.
  • Place dark chocolate and butter in a bowl, then melt using a double boiler or microwave.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar.
  • Slowly add the melted chocolate into the eggs, stirring to prevent curdling. (Optional: Let the chocolate mixture cool before adding it, if you have the patience.)
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, being careful not to over bake.
  • While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze.
  • Melt white chocolate in a bowl.
  • Heat the cream until it's very warm, but not hot.
  • Pour a bit of the cream over the chocolate to break it, then gradually add the rest of the cream, stirring until you have a smooth ganache.
  • Pour the ganache over the cake.
  • Allow the ganache to stop dripping, then decorate the cake with fresh berries.
  • Enjoy your delicious cake!
