White & black sticky cake

There is good reason that kladdkaka (‘sticky cake’) is Sweden’s favourite cake. It has top and bottom layers of buttery crunch holding plenty of fudgy squidge between them, almost like a giant, sharable cookie. Usually, it is made with dark chocolate and vanilla. Here white chocolate gives a toasty, caramelised butter flavour, vanilla brings complexity and black sesame seeds lend nuttiness with an earthy undertone to offset all that sweetness.
