Easy Chocolate Cake. Three words we love to see together. Not only is Ed’s Kladdkaka (aka Swedish chocolate cake) rich and delicious, but it is also very easy to make. And with only five ingredients and 25 minutes of cooking time, you don’t need to be a great baker to get a delightful result.

Ingredients

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional). Melt butter, then combine in a bowl with cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Whisk until smooth, then fold in flour. Spoon into a lined 20cm springform cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until firm on edges, but only just set in the centre (cake will be a bit wobbly in the middle). Cool in tin.

2.

Put jam in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Cook until jam begins to stick to the bottom of pan, then stir in bourbon, honey and orange juice. Boil for 2 minutes, then fold in strawberries and remove from heat.

3.

Serve cake warm or at room temperature, topped with strawberry mixture, whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a drizzle of honey.
