Squidgy White Chocolate Cake (Kladdkaka)

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350u00b0 F. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment, grease it, and dust the inside with sugar, tapping out any excess.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a saucepan (or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave). Once melted, add the white chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Beat the eggs and sugar together until VERY light and fluffy, at least 7 minutes in a stand or electric mixer.

4. 4

   Fold in the vanilla extract, then the melted butter/chocolate mixture.

5. 5

   Add the flour and salt and lemon zest (if using) and fold very gently into the batter until just combined-do not overmix. You don't want to deflate the batter.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into your pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The cake will look just barely set but take it out! You want it slightly underdone. Let the cake cool fully before slicing.

7. 7

   Dust the top with confectioners' sugar if you like, and sprinkle with berries or pomegranate seeds.
