Kladdkaka

By • Jun 23rd, 2011 • Category: Baking Projects

Kladdkaka is a well-loved chocolate, gooey cake in Sweden. This cake is so low effort and high satisfaction guaranteed, it’s mad. It’s almost as easy as the eggless, butterless chocolate cake recipe. Mr. G asked if I could look for a recipe that had chocolate and rum in it and that’s how I found Johanna [...]



Midsummer Berry Crumble

It’s Swedish midsummer and everywhere in the city, there are strawberry stands. It’s the cutest thing, it’s almost like a lemonade stand.

Today felt like Christmas. Not because Santa came by 11 months too soon but remember as a kid you would jump out of bed before anyone else did on Christmas morning? That feeling. Let me start from the beginning. G’s dad has a fantastic garden filled with fruit and vegetable plants. We grow our own [...]
