The Ultimate Gooey Chocolate Cake – Kladdkaka

Kladdkaka hails from Sweden and promises to be the gooiest and quite possibly the best chocolate cake out there. Enjoyed at fika, a kind of Sweish coffee break, kladdkaka is the perfect accompaniment. This recipe was adapted slightly from this one shared by Izy at the Daily Mail.

A slice of gooey chocolate cake covered with powdered sugar.

  1. Very good recipe. It seemed rather similar to a brownie but a little bit gooier. I would definitely make it again in the future.

  2. I think a cake pan would be better. I would be concerned it would be too easy to over bake the cake using a muffin tin.

    I made this for a group of friends using 5″ ramekins and it turned out perfect!! I cannot tell you all of their comments because they are not pc enough to post, but one said “I fell like I just cheated on my husband.”

    Doubling this recipe filled 6 individual 5″ ramekins and we just ate it out of that.
