Ingredients:

• 150 g butter

• 100 g good quality milk chocolate or dark, if you prefer darker flavours

• 200 g caster sugar

• 2 eggs

• 40 g cocoa powder

• 125 g plain flour

1 tsp vanilla sugar

• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 200°C if you're not using a fan).

• Start by melting the butter and adding the chocolate. Set this heavenly mixture aside.

• In a stand mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar until they become pale and fluffy, creating a dreamy combination.

• Combine all the dry ingredients together, giving them a gentle mix.

• Sift the dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mixture, then fold in the melted butter and chocolate blend. It's a dance of flavors!

• With the help of a spatula, pour this delightful batter into your baking tin, ready to create magic.

• Pop the tin into your preheated oven and let it bake for around 14-15 minutes. The anticipation builds!

• Now, the baking time for kladdkakor may vary. You want the middle to remain slightly gooey, so use a toothpick to test the edge of the cake. If it comes out clear about 2 cm in and the cake doesn't look TOO runny in the middle, it's time to take it out. If you feel it needs a bit more time, simply leave it to cool in the tin. However, if you feel it may have had 30 seconds too much, remove it from the tin immediately to prevent further baking.

• Once you've familiarized yourself with how your oven behaves and bakes this delightful treat, you'll discover the perfect baking duration going forward. It's a journey of learning and mastering the art of kladdkakor!

Enjoy the baking process and savor each step. Soon, you'll have the perfect kladdkakor recipe perfected to your taste. Happy baking!
