Swedish kladdkaka – aka Chocolate mud cake
This, my dear friends is Swedish kladdkaka - literally "gooey cake"! Personally I think "gooey cake" sounds better than "mud cake" - don't you think so?

I have so much I want to tell you about this cake, and what's in, on and around it! Let's start with almonds ...
