Kladdkaka is one of the most famous fika cakes in Sweden. Every café has a version of the sticky chocolate cake. It is a bit like an underbaked chocolate cake, and that is exactly what makes it so very good. This is our Auntie Inga’s recipe. It’s an easy cake to make, but watch the baking carefully: too little and it’s a runny mess; too much and it’s a stodgy, dry cake.
