How to Prepare Kladdkaka: Swedish Chocolate Mud Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix all the ingredients (apart from the chocolate and your optional decorations) until you have a smooth batter.
If possible, line the bottom of your springform pan with parchment paper, then pour in the batter and add the chocolate pieces on top. Bake for 12-15 minutes. The cake will still be very moist, and fudge-like.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator.
Remove from refrigerator and decorate as desired before serving with some vegan whipped cream.

Notes

To make popped amaranth, heat a cast iron, aluminum, or stainless steel skillet over high heat. Add a small about (about a teaspoon) of amaranth into the skillet and cover, preferably with a glass lid, and shake the pan back and forth over the burner. The amaranth should pop within 10 seconds. They don't increase in size that much at all, but they will start jumping around the pan. To make more, remove the popped grains first, replace the pan and wait a minute until it gets hot again, and repeat.
