Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake (Kladdkaka)

"Absolutely terrific. I am Swedish and have been looking for a way to make Kladdkaka on my own. This is it. I only had a 9" glass pie plate (rather than 8" as the recipe calls for) and it worked perfec..." See moretly. You get a crisp/gooey crust and a sticky, moist inside. Note that the top will sort of collapse and crack as the cake cools. This is normal and authentic! Also, you must let it cool completely or it will just seem runny. Most importantly, for those of you who felt the cake was too liquid: it is all about how you mix the batter. Beat the egg/sugar mixture for a good 5 mns with an electric beater. But stir just a little with a spoon when you mix in the flour mixture and the butter. A total of 30 strokes should do it and it should be by hand. This way, you'll get just the right consistency.

I used a 9" light coloured cake pan and sprayed with cooking spray. No problem at all. Also cut back on the sugar to 1 cup (to make it a diet cake of course) :) and it is wonderful. Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I'm thinking those that did have a problem have most likely over stirred. Important to just gently rotate with a fork, no electric mixer!! These are very much like making brownies, so just a little stir to mix will do ya! Happy baking all! Lorrie"
