In Finland, these are probably the second most common thing to find on a coffee table, besides pulla. Little cake squares, covered in a chocolatey frosting flavoured with a splash of coffee. All bake sales in the history of bake sales in Finland probably feature this cake.
Mmm, tasty.
It's good.
There are about a zillion recipes, most featuring stuff Chipmunk cannot eat: wheat, eggs, cocoa, dairy and often also nuts. My recipe is gluten free, eggless, dairy free and has no cocoa. Hooray!
Without further ado:

Mix dry together. Mix wet together. Mix all together. Pour onto a parchment lined baking tray and bake at 200 C for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let it cool down, then make frosting and frost.
Frosting:
150 g margarine

splash of coconut milk
enough powdered sugar to get the right consistency (about 300-400 g)
Melt margarine in a pan, mix in all the other stuff and stir until smooth. Then pour onto the cooled cake before the frosting has time to set. Sprinkle something on top, to decorate.
Makes a good snack, too.
