Kladdkaka is a classic Swedish chocolate cake that's rich, gooey in the middle, and crisp on top. Similar to a brownie with a deep chocolate flavour and a sticky texture. It’s super simple to make with just cocoa, butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Best served with a sprinkle of icing sugar, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The name literally means "sticky cake" - and it lives up to it!
