Swedish Chocolate Cake
Description
Swedish Chocolate Cake combines simple ingredients like unsalted butter, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, flour, and eggs into a rich batter baked until the sides are set and the center retains a soft, gooey texture. The cake is prepared in a small pan lined with parchment, then baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes. Once cooled slightly, it is dusted with powdered sugar, providing a subtle sweetness and decorative finish.
This cake yields a dense, moist, somewhat fudgy treat with a deep chocolate flavor and a tender crumb. The contrast between the firm edges and soft middle makes it enjoyable to eat warm, making it a suitable dessert for cooler days or when craving a chocolate-focused baked good.
Serving warm allows the gooey center to be at its best. The cake can be paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness and contrast, though it stands well on its own.
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 egg large
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line (with parchment paper), grease and flour a 7-inch cake tin (or in my case a 8x4-inch loaf pan).
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 20-30 minutes - it should be set around the edges but still gooey in the middle.
- Let the cake cool in its tin for about 20 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the inside edge of the tin to loosen it. Turn out onto a wire rack, dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
