Swedish Gooey Chocolate Cake – Kladkaka

Ooey gooey, soft and chewy. This Swedish kladkaka mud cake just begs for a dollop of fresh whipped cream.

You know what this cake tastes like?

Heaven.

And yet, here it is on earth right in front of me. Or it was. Until I ate it all.

The Swedish Kladkaka cake is like a cross between a fudgy brownie and cake. How can that possibly be bad?

The first time I had this cake was at an event my University put together called a “Food Safari” where teams of two would go to a different house for each part of their meal. My team made appetizers, we visited some friends who were from Italy for the entree and for dessert our Swedish classmates made Kladkaka. And I most definitely thanked them. Profusely.
