I always use www.google.com when I convert measurements. Have you tried that? Just write "100 ml in cups" in the search box and you'll get a conversion, in this case "100 ml = 0.422675284 US cups". I hope this helps. Dear Theresa. I always use http://www.google.com when I convert measurements. Have you tried that?

I have made it twice. The tricky bit (I think) is when you have to add the egg to the melted butter and sugars - too hot and hasty and it will scramble. Even the second time, when I spent a good 5 minutes cooling the mixture by stirring it with the base submerged in cold water, the yolk nearly poached. Just about rescued it each time though. Without the icing you get a lovely glossy finish and if you chill it, it cuts really cleanly. If you like, you can even use it as building blocks! http://swimathonpete.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/chocolate-gingerbread-2/ Dear Dagmar, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this recipe.

It’s a typical Swedish cake, which translates to the cute name love yummies. In the book Sju sorters kakor (Swedish cakes and cookies, which you can win here) they are called Snoddas and some people even call them Mocha Squares, but I’ve always called them love yummies becuase that’s what they are :-) They are not as rich and dense as the rather similar chocolate gingerbread from Nigella; but they are much lighter and have a rather mild chocolate taste. I really like the frosting and my mother often use the frosting from this recipe on other cakes and cookies. Kärleksmums / Snoddas / Mocha Squares (makes 30-35 pieces. Recipe from “Sju sorters kakor” aka “Swedish cakes and cookies) [...] [...] I can promise you that no matter which Swedish café you’ll enter, they will most probably have kärleksmums.
