Have you ever tried a Swedish sticky cake (kladdkaka)? It is one of our most beloved sweet treats/desserts that we love to make all year round. It is actually very similar to a brownie with the difference that a sticky cake doesn’t include any baking powder, is usually made round, does not include any topping like a glaze and is usually served with whipped cream or ice cream. A sticky cake, just as the name indicate, should be sticky. Therefore it is only baked for a short period of time, then left to set. You can of course adjust the baking time depending on how sticky you prefer your cake, but if you ask me the stickier the better! This version of a classic sticky cake is fall inspired with the taste of apple and cinnamon. It is healthier than a regular sticky cake since I replaced the butter and refined sugar with dates. This sticky cake is so easy to make, only require a few key ingredients, one bowl and five minutes of your time. It is perfect to serve as an afternoon snack or dessert. This sticky cake is both gluten and refined sugar free.
A few tips:
- Make sure to use juicy and fresh dates, and not the dryer once since they provide moist to the cake.
- If your dates are a bit dry you can soak them in hot boiling water for 10-15 minutes before making this cake.
- Make sure to mix the dates well into a smooth paste before combining it with the rest of the ingredients. You don’t want any big pieces or limps left.
- I would recommend using your favorite fall apple, but maybe not a too sour one.
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated apple, otherwise the cake might turn out too wet.
- Bake the cake for 10-15 minutes depending on how sticky you prefer it. The cake is ready when the edges have set, but the core still is a bit loose. The cake will set a bit when cooled.
- You can adjust the amount of stevia granulated sugar depending on how sweet you prefer your cake. I did not add any additional sugar since the dates are sweet enough for me.
