In Sweden the most popular cake is called “kladdkaka” (which means sticky cake). It is a dense sticky chocolate cake similar to a brownie but with a soft and slightly viscous centre. This recipe is also a “kladdkaka” but with saffron instead of chocolate! Just perfect for December! And as with any “kladdkaka” it has these benefits:
- Simple and fast to bake
- Ordinary ingredients
- Easy to vary with additional ingredients and different things to serve it with
- Works really well to store in fridge or even freezer
- Can be baked as individual cakes by using muffin cups
