Quite possibly the quickest, easiest, gooey-est (and so best) chocolate cake you'll ever make. This has only 6 ingredients and takes only 30 minutes to make and bake from start to finish. A cake that is so perfect for serving to guests... or just scoffing at home in front on the TV!

6-ingredient gooey Swedish chocolate cake (kladdkaka)

butter

cocoa powder

sugar

flour

vanilla extract

eggs (lightly whisked)

Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F. Line the bottom of a 7-9 inch (see note below) springform cake pan with a circle of baking paper, then grease the paper and the sides of the pan.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, then take off the heat and set aside.

Add the cocoa, sugar, flour and vanilla to the butter and stir a little. Then add the eggs and stir everything together until well combined.

Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (see note below) until the top is set but the centre is still gooey (the top should be firm but crack under a little pressure from your finger).

Let the cake cool in the pan, then run a knife between the pan and the cake to loosen it. Turn out onto a plate or cake stand (see note below). Dust generously with cocoa powder and serve warm with ice cream or cream.

Swedish Oatmeal Cookies (Havreflarn) are light and crispy with a delicate crunch.  They are the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon cup of tea or coffee!

Swedish Oatmeal Cookies (Havreflarn)

unsalted butter

baking powder

salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.  Set aside.

Place butter in a medium skillet (preferably not nonstick or cast iron so that you can more easily see the color change) and heat over medium low heat, swirling the pan frequently.  Once the butter has melted, continue to cook, swirling the pan frequently, until the butter has a nutty aroma and is golden brown in color.  Don’t walk away from the stove! Brown butter can go from perfect to burnt in a matter of seconds. Immediately transfer brown butter to a bowl to cool.

Whisk oats, flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.  Set aside.

Combine egg, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until sugar is dissoved and mixture is frothy.  Add brown butter and whisk until everything has just come together. Add dry mixture and stir to combine.  Let the dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to making the cookies.

Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter onto prepared cookie sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie (they will spread considerably).  Bake 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are golden brown. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.  Repeat with remaining batter.

<p>This is the traditional recipe for Swedish kladdkaka which you can prepare in under half an hour. The ingredients needed are flour, butter, eggs, cocoa, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.</p>
