Betty's old fashioned boiled chocolate cake image

Moist and chocolatey! Heavier than a sponge but lighter than a mudcake. This is an old recipe which makes a large cake. Be sure to cool the boiled mix before using or you'll end up with a bowl of chocolate flavoured scrambled eggs ??

I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, but I really liked this one. It's not too sweet and the frosting is really light and fluffy.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I made this cake with carob chips instead. It was still really good!

I'm not sure why this cake is called 'boiled'. It's not actually boiled. It's more like a steamed cake.

This cake is so easy to make and it always comes out perfect. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in a pot and let it boil. The frosting is also really simple to make and it's so delicious.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but it turned out to be a bit disappointing. The cake was dry and the frosting was too runny. I think I'll stick to my usual chocolate cake recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of boiled cakes, but this one is an exception. It's so rich and flavorful, and the texture is perfect. I'll definitely be making it again.
