Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt the Butter:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, melt the unsalted butter until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
   • Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
   • Gradually add the melted butter to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
4. Add Dry Ingredients:
   • Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients.
   • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Bake the Kladdkaka:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly gooey and underbaked.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove the kladdkaka from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
   • Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
   • Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
7. Enjoy:
   • Dive into the decadent, fudgy goodness of Swedish kladdkaka, savoring the rich chocolate flavor and gooey texture that makes this dessert a favorite in Sweden.
