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 ??

- 3. In a large bowl add the remaining ingredients and beat. Add the cooler cocoa mix and beat. Pour into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 - 60 minutes.
- 4. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with desired icing or frosting. Keep in a Tupperware style container for up to 3 or 4 days.
