Citronkladdkaka med Maräng

Hej! It is Elsa here, writing from my kitchen in beautiful Småland. Today, I am so excited to share a recipe that feels like a ray of sunshine on a plate: my citronkladdkaka med maräng. There is nothing quite like the Swedish fika tradition, and this cake combines the sticky, gooey texture we all love with the fresh zing of lemon curd and a fluffy cloud of sweet meringue. It is a recipe close to my heart, perfect for brightening up dark winter afternoons or celebrating the return of spring in the garden.

While many of us are used to the dark richness of chocolate cakes, sometimes you need a fresh alternative. If you have ever tried a kladdkaka recept utan smör or perhaps a classic kladdkaka recept utan ägg, you know that texture is everything. This lemon version delivers that perfect 'kladdig' consistency but with a citrus twist. It is quite different from a sponge-like vegansk silviakaka utan ägg or a traditional kaffekaka småkaka, as the lemon curd makes it incredibly moist and dense.

For this recipe, we are using classic ingredients like butter and eggs to get that rich flavor, but I know many of you ask for alternatives. If you are baking for friends with allergies, you might be looking for a glutenfri silviakaka or a specific glutenfri kladdkaka recept instead. However, if you can enjoy this citronkladdkaka med maräng as is, the combination of the tart lemon and the sweet, crispy-chewy meringue topping is unbeatable. It is a bit more festive than my usual gammaldags småkakor, making it a lovely centerpiece for a gathering.

While the cake is in the oven for its second bake with the meringue, the smell of toasted sugar fills the kitchen—it rivals the scent of fresh kärleksmums pepparkaka! If you have extra egg yolks left over from the meringue, do not waste them; perhaps plan a batch of småkakor med potatismjöl for later in the week. And if you are out of butter but still craving sweets, remember you can always whip up some småkakor utan smör. But for now, let's focus on this delightful lemon masterpiece. Happy baking!
