Kladdkaka

I decided to try a Swedish dessert after being prompted by Henrik, so here is my own version of the famous "kladdkaka". I followed the wonderful recipe from Susanne's recepten.se, and made some changes to fit my own tastes, or correct some mistakes throughout the making. Henrik, being a fan of the dessert, verified that it was very tasty, so I trust his opinion! Here's how it was done:

Time you'll need to make this: 40-60 minutes
Difficulty level: easy

Ingredients (for 6 small portions):
- 2 medium sized eggs
- 100g butter (I use vegetable butter) - and if you feel it's not enough while you make the cake, have some olive oil aside (4-5 spoons), it works great as a substitute
- 2,5dl brown sugar (I would go for 2dl, even)
- 1 spoon vanilla sugar
- 3 spoons cocoa powder
- 2dl all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of whipped or double cream
- 1 packet of frozen raspberries
- 1 spoon of powdered sugar

You will need a cake form - as it is suggested in Susanne's recipe, it should be about 20cm in diameter. I only had a round one with a hole in the middle available (used most often for other sorts of cakes), but I baked it there without an issue.
I also found it necessary to have an electrical mixer, but I suppose you can manage it with mixing it yourself, and get some good arm exercise at the same time :D
