November 7th is Kladdkakans dag in Sweden – day of the mud cake. It’s a yummy and gooey chocolate cake that is made almost effortlessly. Join us in the celebration and bake your own mud cake.
INGREDIENTS
- 150 g butter
- 100 g chocolate bar (optional)
- 175 g sugar (around 200-250 ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 100 g flour
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat oven to 175 C (350 F)
- Melt butter in a pot large enough so that it can later contain all the ingredients
- If you choose to include a chocolate bar then melt it together with the butter
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla sugar until dissolved
- Add the eggs while whisking gently and avoid getting air bubbles into the mixture
- Mix in the flour and cocoa powder which you add a little at a time to avoid lumps (best is to use a sieve/sifter)
- Take a 24 cm cake pan with removable bottom and grease it. Then add some breadcrumbs or coconut flakes so it sticks to the greased surface
- Pour in the cake batter and bake for 18 min. If you use a smaller / larger pan you will need to adjust the time. The cake should be crisp on the edges and sticky in the middle
- Let the cake cool, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Strawberries and raspberries also go very well with kladdkaka!
