Ingredients

• 150 g Unsalted butter
• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 35 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 300 g Granulated sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 10 g Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20 cm (8-inch) round springform pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave using a microwave-safe bowl. Allow it to cool slightly after melting.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs together with the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the cooled melted butter and whisked eggs into the dry ingredient mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly soft and gooey.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. The cake will firm up as it cools.

Step 10

Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar if desired, slice into wedges, and serve. Kladdkaka is often enjoyed with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
