Swedish Chocolate Cake

This recipe come from Eva Strömstom, who along with her husband (and my collaborator) Roland Johansson, have hosted me many times in Umeå, Sweden. The recipe was written down by their daughter Stina many years ago (see photo below). Françoise and I have made it on many occasions as it is easy and lovely (like a big brownie). The recipe calls for vanilla sugar, a vanilla flavoured icing sugar available in Sweden but hard to get in Canada. You can just use icing sugar and add a little vanilla. I realize that this is the first desert I have put on this blog—I am not a big desert person—but it is a good place to start.
