Upon request of *someone*  , here`s my recipe for a delicious Swedish chocolate pie, called 'Kladdkaka' by the Swedes, which unfortunately when you litterally translate that to Dutch, reads... 'piece of shit'  ...I kid you not. BUT not to worry, it tastes heavenly!

Ingredients for 12 people:

3 organic eggs
3 dl unrefined cane sugar
3 dl or 170 grams flour (I use glutenfree maize flour, but regular flour should work too)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar
160 grams butter (I use liquid soy butter)
125 grams dark quality chocolate
1 1/2 dl or 100 grams organic hazelnuts (chop `em up)

Preheat your oven to 240 degrees Celsius.

Mix the eggs and the sugar to an airy batter. Mix the flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar and add it to the batter. Melt the butter, then add the chocolate. When it`s all liquid, let it cool down and then add to the batter. Add half of the chopped up hazelnuts to the batter. Pour the mix into a round spring cake tin of about 25cm diameter. Sprinkle the other half of the hazelnuts on top of the pie.

Bake it for about 10-12 minutes. It still has to be a little gooey in the middle. Let it cool down and put it in the fridge for a few hours. It tastes best when served cold and is even more yummy when you combine it with whipped cream and strawberries.

Mind you, this is a calorie bomb... but

(I`ve noticed I suck at translating recipes, so if any of the above sounds weird... it`s normal LOL)

For anybody trying the recipe, this is what it is supposed to look like.

Thank you, Bexy, for posting your chocolate pie recipe.  Mmmmmmmm. Will now attempt to convert metric measures into our measures. Except for the chocolate part  -the more the better.

Nutty, It's my observation that cooking is a dying art, all our supermarkets are full of ready made meals and millions of people now partake. If you cook your own meals, you know exactly how much sugar, fat and salt is in it. The only other way is taking a calculator shopping with you but the  greedy food manufacturers list of ingredients on the back of their products are almost indecipherable and extremely misleading, sugar for instance is described as sucrose or lactose an obvious attempt to mislead.

Grm, don't forget about the high fructose corn syrup, which is in everything from sodas to vitamins. It's making a hella lotta people obese.

Hmm, it sounds like good info, I will have to make sure I take my blackberry with me shopping and spend the next six hours working my way around the supermarket checking out all the ready meals and breakfast cereals I never buy.

Another recipe I've been asked to post (frankly I think people would just want me to fly over and cook for them lol).

Crumble of cherry tomatoes
(prepared in 4 mini oven pots)

2 kg organic cherry tomatoes (500 g for each pot)
2 garlic toes
organic olive oil
a few thyme twigs but the organic thyme you can just sprinkle, is also fine
20 g cold butter (I use liquid soy butter)
20 g flour (I use maize flour)
25 g almond powder (best to just buy organic chopped almonds and hammer them to dust, they put to much crap, even chalk in ready-to-use almond dust)
50 g chopped almonds
Cajun pepper
Sea salt and organic black pepper

Wash the tomatoes. Clean the garlic toes and chop them up very fine. Take a regular pot, add a teaspoon of olive oil and put on the fire. Bake the garlic on a low fire. Add the tomatoes and thyme, put the lid on it and let it smother for 15 minutes on a lower fire till the peel of the tomatoes starts to burst and release the juice. Then take the lid of and let it cook till most of the juices are gone.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Mix the flour, butter, almond dust and chopped almonds to a crumble. Add cajun pepper, salt and pepper.

Divide the tomatoes over the 4 pots, then divide the crumble over it. Put in the oven for 30 minutes without the lids till the crumble turns golden and cripsy. Put the lids back on right before serving, it keeps the delicious aromas inside.

Serve with potatoes, mashed potatoes or bread.

Bon appétit! (enjoy)

You have very clean pots Bexy.

You have very clean pots Bexy.

LOL, they were pretty dirty afterwards I can tell you. But they look brandnew because they are. Got them for Christmas and now having fun experimenting.

[Grm]

Wow, nice pressies Bexy, Le Creuiset, expensive, someone loves you, or your cooking.
I do most of the cooking in our household and the kitchen looks much like your cartoon when I'm finished, the difference is I'm the one who generally cleans up, sort of.

[licksnkissez]

Looks really yummy Bexy! I may try it and I usually have those ingredients around the house too, including the almonds. As for the cartoon kitchen..that's how my ex bf used to leave it after one of his 'creations'. That's one reason he's my EX BF lol!

Delicious recipe bexy, another one to try in the near future.

  Let's just say that sounds familiar lol. Or like a friend of mine says: "There are no women in hell, otherwise the place could never have gotten that filthy." But I'm the one who always does the cleaning up as I firmly believe most men should not venture there.

[fourstrokes]

HAHAHAHA your friend is a genius!!!!

The hungry Eagle patiently waits for Bexy to post a photo of her chocolate pie...........and waits.............and waits......Healthy food is nice, but desserts are so much better.
