Kärleksmums hjärtform
Swedish Love Cake is a soft, spongy chocolate cake topped with a rich mocha glaze and shredded coconut. Perfect for Fika time!
Chocolate & coffee is the ultimate romance of flavors when it comes to desserts in my opinion.

There is good reason for Swedish Love Cake having such a following for this reason, and the added crunch of coconut gives such a complex depth to this simple, homey cake.
Ingredients and Equipment for the Swedish Love Cake:
This is a really easy cake to make, either with a stand or hand-held mixer, or by hand. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking power, sea salt, and granulated sugar. Use large fresh eggs and unsalted sweet cream butter.

When I mentioned to my kids that I was going to make Kärleksmums into a blog recipe one of them asked if I was going to make it healthier. The answer, &#;no.&#;
It&#;s true, I used to &#;healthify&#; almost every baking recipe. However, after years of learning more about intuitive eating, I now know that this is not needed. Recipes are meant to be enjoyed and savored in any form that you find delicious and satisfying. There is no need to always bake with whole grains or reduce sugar.
As my middle school English teacher said, words like &#;always&#; and &#;never&#; are strong words that should be used sparingly. I think this is especially important to remember when it comes to
