Tracy and Tim’s Ultimate Boiled Chocolate Cake Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    My Grandmaw had a boiled cake recipe that she made for me some 45 yrs ago. Similar but use buttermilk instead of water. She used swan cake flour also. I will hunt down the recipe and post it. The chocolate topping was boiled as well with pecans.

    Tim and Tracy’s Chocolate Cake (Boiled), Easy moist chocolate cake that never fails, scales easily and comes with a story! Tim and Tracy met at work, fell in love, and decided to get married One day Tracy was talking about the cost of getting married and mentioned that she had difficulty finding the right cake so I offered to make their wedding cake as my present to them Tim said it had to be chocolate cake and it had to be this recipe, which came with the cake tin he had bought I trialled it, we ate a lot of chocolate cake at work and eventually I made 4 cakes, 2 large and 2 medium (all made the night before so that it was fresh for the wedding!) The cake has a nice moist texture without being too heavy but was still solid enough to cover with rolling fondant icing to make it look like a real wedding cake (sorry, the photo has long gone!) We had a ladies night where Tracy, her mum, granny, me, my daughters and another friend all made moulded icing roses in a lovely shade of burgundy The cakes were stacked, icing rolled over the large cake and smaller cake and then the smaller cake placed directly on top of the larger cake The edges were covered with a narrow ribbon That’s how I transported the cake to the wedding reception Then in situ, I added the icing roses, some sprigs of baby’s breath and a cascade of a wider burgundy ribbon When it came to speech time, Tim’s father revealed that Tim’s love of chocolate cake almost prevented him from considering marriage Apparently, when he was little, he had attended a wedding and was very disappointed with the wedding cake He only liked chocolate cake He was told that traditionally a wedding cake is fruit cake His response to this news was that was it, he was never going to get married! So, Tim father continued, it was just as well that I made this chocolate cake for their wedding otherwise it may never have happened I was so embarrassed I thought I was helping out my friends and getting away with a no-brainer wedding present All of a sudden, I was in the limelight Everyone was coming up to me afterwards and congratulating the chocolate cake lady ! I had no idea that my cake was going to be such a big feature at this wedding It certainly wasn’t what I intended but I’ll never forget this recipe It has become our family favourite too Prep time includes time for the chocolate mixture to cool , My Grandmaw had a boiled cake recipe that she made for me some 45 yrs ago Similar but use buttermilk instead of water She used swan cake flour also I will hunt down the recipe and post it The chocolate topping was boiled as well with pecans , I think that this a wonderful cake that is lgiht in texture and fluffy It also refrigerates well overnight, and tastes even better the next day I really think this is a 4 1/2 stars, because I didn’t use frosting, and I think I would have liked frosting on this cake
