Kastrullkaka (Saucepan cake)
This is truly one of the easiest recipes out there. Vary with the berries or fruits available - here I use fresh blueberries.
You can use a variety of fruits and berries for this cake. Seasonal berries or small pieces of rhubarb, sliced apples or plums, for example.
The original recipe seems to have involved melting the butter in a saucepan (hence the name), adding sugar, eggs and flour to mix and finally pouring the batter into a greased mold with removable sides.
I do it a little differently as I saw how to do it this way instead in a number of places on the internet. I bake the cake in a cast iron pan in which I also melt the butter. I melt the butter in the pan and then transfer it to a bowl where I mix sugar, eggs and flour and then transfer the dough back into the now greased cast iron pan. It worked very well and was also easy and fast. It makes it easier to use a spatula or similar as the dough is a little sticky.
Ingredients
Directions
- Start the oven at 225°C.
- Melt the butter in a cast iron pan on a low temperature, then turn off the heat.
- Pour the melted butter into a bowl. Add sugar, eggs and flour. Mix until smooth and sticky batter.
- Pour the batter back into the cast iron pan and top with berries and pearl sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the cake has a slightly brown color around the edge. It doesn't matter if the cake is still slightly sticky in the middle, though.
- Serve the cake lukewarm or room temperature with ice cream or custard.
