A friend mentioned to me that he had no idea how to make porridge which i thought was a bit surprising but here is the simplest recipe for porridge that i know.
1dl oatmeal
2 1/4dl water
1 pinch of salt
Mix everything together in a breakfast bowl.
Put the bowl in a microwave for 2min at full power.
Add milk.
One variation that is very tasty is to mix the oatmeal with powdered cinnamon before you add the water so that it mixes evenly, serve with chopped apple or applesauce.
Enjoy!

Swedish Chocolate Cake (Kladdkaka)
I thought I would start with a quick and easy one with a slight twist, it's done in the microwave.
175 grams of butter
3 eggs
3dl of sugar
2dl of ordinary flour
4tbl of cocoa powder
1tbl vanilla sugar or 1/4tbl vanilla extract if you can't find the sugar
Melt the butter.
Whip the eggs and sugar white and fluffy but still slightly runny.
Mix the flour, cocoa and vanilla sugar until evenly mixed. If you are using liquid vanilla extract add that when mixing everything together.
Stir the melted butter in to the sugar and egg mixture.
Stir the dry ingredients (and vanilla extract) into the mixture until it's an even batter.
At this stage you can run amok and add all kinds of extras, such as nuts, chocolate chips, chunks of digestive biscuits or anything you can come up with.
Pour the batter into a tin that can take being in the microwave, a silicone cake tin works best.
Nuke it on full blast for 6-8 minutes depending on how gooey you want it.
If you don't have a microwave oven with a spinning tray turn it around after half the time to get an even bake.
Usually served with a dollop of whipped cream and works well both hot and cold.
This cake works very well for beginners because it's not a very sensitive recipe at all and even if you eat it raw or cook it as hard as biscotti it will taste fantastic.
