this one's very short, can I just post the text?

Kladdkaka
(Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)

INGREDIENTS:
100g butter
250g caster's sugar
2 eggs
dash vanilla
25g cocoa powder
100g plain flour

Melt butter in microwave in a ceramic pie dish. If you don't have that, use the oven to melt the butter in a regular pie dish. Then mix in remaining ingredients one after the other. The resulting batter will be VERY stiff; that is normal.

Bake in 180°C (350°F) oven for about 25 minutes. PAT WITH SPOON to verify doneness; do NOT use a bamboo skewer, as the interior SHOULD be molten when hot.

Often served with whipped cream and raspberries, but any berry preserve should be delightful.

Well, this had some real “how can this go wrong?” feel to it and it certainly did not go wrong. It’s an interesting bake, rather halfway between cake and brownie. The little crust is a nice texture addition, and it goes as well with berry preserves as advertised. A keeper.

and now to cool.

the dome is falling a bit as it cools, I _think_ that’s normal, the finished / served ones always look flatter

#baking #kladdkaka

pat pat pat pat

#baking #kladdkaka

this is specifically a spoon test cake not a bamboo stick cake, it’s supposed to be molten on the inside

#baking #kladdkaka

this is akin to those microwave mug brownie recipes, isn’t it? of course it is. they probably come _from_ this.

egg whites doing _so much work_ here for reals

#baking #kladdkaka

and into the oven for 25 minutes while I set up for tonight’s #monsterdon movie ^_^

#baking #kladdkaka

hopefully I didn’t overprepare the surface, it’s very sticky

#baking #kladdkaka

this goes through some VERY abrupt state changes, honestly kinda wish I had video

but it ends up almost a pudding somehow

#baking #kladdkaka

sooooo much of the structure here is going to come from the egg whites

#baking #kladdkaka

I've seen caster's sugar called "snooty sugar" occasionally and while they're not _completely_ wrong this is one of those recipes where it _matters_, because this is gonna be a really dry batter and you need that better distribution of grains you get from caster's

also also not sure this is big enough it’s the only “pie dish” I have that isn’t metal

#baking #kladdkaka

also ammonium carbonate is why all those houses in victorian novels had smelling salts handy

it wasn’t a literary conceit

it’s also a smelling salt

so they could just run to the kitchen and grab some

#baking #kladdkaka

You'll note the lack of baking powder, baking soda, ammonium carbonate, or any other leavening agent

this is intentional

also it's Swedish/Norwegian and while there are two specific origin stories for this they don't conflict and could both be true at the same time, and one says it came from an era when leavening agents were expensive and difficult so

FLATTEST CAKES AHOY

#Kladdkaka im Ofen ... ich hoffe ich kann warten bis er nicht mehr so heiß ist. 😍

Lyckades förresten med kladdkakan idag. Ökade mängden kakao med ca hälften (är det lyx så är det) och använde dinkelmjöl.

Let's see what my stomach says today, I'm in the mood to bake a Kladdkaka
#kladdkaka

Tidigare i veckan var det ju #KladdkakansDag och jag orkade verkligen inte baka. Men nu jäklar, nu blev det i helgen! Årets #kladdkaka gjordes i vår #Remoska eftersom vi inte ville använda ugnen (energikris är mumsigt). Blev bra, mer som en #brownie typ! Sambon hittade dessutom #mjölkfri vispgrädde baserad på kokosmjölk i stan. Supergott!

Do you have a favorite #kladdkaka recipe? Can you link me to it? In #swedish is fine, too; I can use Google Translate to interpret it. #baking #cake

#inktober Day 25: Tasty

We actually went up to Manchester for my wife’s cousin’s birthday; this was the cake we made when he got there!

This one was fun, and I got to play with my new pentel brush pen
