I have been watching lots of videos of how to make this wonderfully moist cake. Kladdkaka is a Swedish cake, moist and sticky inside. In fact in some recipes the moistness is slightly runny. I didn’t want a runny centre, so I opted to follow a recipe by Donal Skehan, where everything is mixed in a single pot and then poured into a cake tin to bake.
It is just so simple and the resultant cake is so very tasty. I passed a link to Donal’s video to my sister in Canada. She has made it too and reported by ‘exquisite’, so that is a testament in itself.
I also have a friend in South Carolina who is going to make it today and take it, I think, to his Super Bowl get together.
So get to it guys, have a go at this. This is one that just wont fail.
