Sticky Chocolate Cake

Inspired by Swedish classic kladdkaka, or sticky chocolate cake, this spoonable chocolate dessert combines the oozy goodness of a molten lava cake with the crackly shell of a good brownie. You’ll find that the edges are set, but the cake will get gooier as you get closer to the center (even if you overcook it a bit). Bolstered by instant espresso, nutty brown butter, and both Dutch-process cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate, it delivers deep chocolate flavor balanced by just-right sweetness. It’s just the cake to satisfy every chocolate craving.
