Lorna’s Boiled Chocolate Cake
Lorna is my husband’s Great-Auntie. You might know Lorna’s Scone recipe, which is now known by many people. Lorna left some great recipes for the next generation. This is another Lorna’s recipe for ‘Boiled Chocolate Cake’, that is the most moist and delicious Chocolate Cake I ever baked. However, this is a huge cake for a big family. The amount is too large for my 20cm round cake tin, and 20cm is the most popular size nowadays. I reduced the recipe to 2/3 and it is just perfect for 20cm tin. If you want to bake a larger cake, I include Lorna’s Original Recipe below. By the way, this cake cracked every time I baked it. I wonder what I did wrong. I wish if I could ask Lorna for her advice. Next time I will try a water bath.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place Butter, Caster Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Bi-Carb Soda, Milk and Water in a large saucepan, and boil for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, then allow to cool. *Note: Transfer from the saucepan to a large mixing bowl, so that the mixture will cool quicker.
- 2
Preheat oven to 160℃. Butter the base and sides of a deep 20cm cake tin, OR you might prefer lining with baking paper like I do. *Note: Please use 22cm OR larger tin for the Original Recipe.
- 3
Beat in Eggs to the cooled mixture, that is probably still warm, sift in Self-Raising Flour, and beat well until combined. You can add Plum Jam OR Berry Jam for extra flavour.
- 4
Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 60 minutes (70 minutes if large) OR until cooked though. *Note: Alternatively, you can bake this cake in a water bath for more moist result.
- 5
Cool on a wire rack. When cooled, coat with your favourite icing. Today I topped with Sour Cream Cocoa Frosting.

Nana’s Famous Chocolate Cake Nana’s Famous Chocolate Cake
This recipe was quite popular on Reddit a couple of years ago. I’ve wanted to try it for a while, and since my daughter specifically wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for her birthday, it was a perfect opportunity!The instructions on Reddit were minimal, so I approached it as I would any other standard cake. This cake baked beautifully and was wonderfully moist and chocolatey. It’s not overly sweet and also has a medium-light texture, not dense or heavy.Please note that I multiplied the original recipe by a factor of 1.5 to obtain the amounts listed here since I was baking a three tier cake.#Dessert #KeepRecipesAlive #Party #Birthday #Potluck

Chocolate Cake Chocolate Cake
I made this cake imagining a cake which was made in a cartoon on Valentine. If you know what I am talking about, please give it a try.The amount of sugar for the pound cake is for the cake to be slightly sweetened. Adjust the amount to your liking If you make a cut in the dough before baking the cake, the cake would be baked nicely. Please make the time to chill after putting the creamy chocolate in between the cake to be at least 3 hours. Unless it will fall apart when you take it out. Recipe by Sarichirusan

Molten Chocolate Cake Molten Chocolate Cake
I created this because my friend really wanted to eat it.I used sweet chocolate, but when you are using normal chocolate, please decrease the amount of granulated sugar. The baking time differs depending on the oven and mold, but even if you cook it too long, you can enjoy it as a chocolate cake. Recipe by ko-ko
