History
[edit]There are two main theories regarding the cake's origin. In 1938, when baking powder was difficult to get hold of in Sweden, Gudrun Isaksson, a woman fromÖrebro,used an Americanbrownierecipe and simply left out the baking powder.[6]The other theory is verified,[7]but both may still be accurate. In 1968, Margareta Wickman, was served a chocolate cake at a restaurant in Paris and was given the recipe. She later published the recipe in a couple of different variants in the Swedish magazineVecko-Journalen,during the late 1970s.[8]
