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 big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The frosting was especially delicious.
