This great boiled chocolate coffee cake is moist and delicious and so easy to make. It just takes one pot

I look forward to posting this peek into my kitchen each month. The drawback is that it seems to make the month seem shorter, because it comes around so fast each time. So here are some of the things in my kitchen
Coffeee chocolate and coffee icing
I have this delicious boiled one pot chocolate coffee cake, made from coffee that was sent to me. This cake recipe has made a number of appearances since I discovered I liked it, more here
Puro Coffee
“Puro” coffee has taken my fancy. Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world today, so I am glad there are some companies thinking about the animals displaced in the forests. Puro donate money from sales to projects in Ecuador, Columbia and Peru working alongside “The World Land Trust” boasting David Attenborough as a patron. This is organic, fairtrade, shade grown coffee. I will be back with more information, tasting notes and where you can buy any of the three blends in Australia.
Laverbread
Has anybody seen this before. A very odd name for a can of seaweed, don’t you think?. This is a traditional Welsh treat served apparently “all over the place” with eggs, on toast and I am sure in a multitude of other ways. It is decidedly fishy and quite unpleasant, in my opinion anyway……It was given to me by my friends who have just returned from a visit to Wales
This little beauty was given to me by my friends at Beclau. I love it because you can peel parmesan, make carrot and zucchini ribbon, peel pumpkin……..oh it’s a genius. Find it at beclau

Thanks to the people from Puro coffee for showing me there are ethical fairtrade and delicious options available

Love the cake -thanks for the recipe!
The vegetable peeler looks like it works a treat!
I always thought laverbread was from Ireland and was bread!!! Hmmm, canned seaweed does not sound nice but someone is going to tell me it’s full of vitamins and good for you I’m sure.
I’m liking your rebellious nature 🙂
The mini sized cakes are adorable!!! And my kitchen stuff isn’t nearly as interesting as yours…thanks for sharing!
I always enjoy this post and your cake looks and sounds delicious. Now about those friends and that gift… 🙂
XXXXX
Gorgeous, gorgeous cake! And I would love to own that Beclau peeler. Perhaps Santa will put one in my stocking?! 🙂
I’ve never heard of or seen laverbread before, I can’t say it looks very appetising though!! You cake on the other hand….mmmmm yum!! xx
Your cake looks delicious Tania. I have some beautiful nutty, chocolate-y vietnamese coffee that I think would work beautifully with your recipe while I wait for your Puro write up! I’m naturally suspicious of any ‘delicacy’ that comes from a can 🙂
I like your rebel approach 🙂 I also like this recipe! Delicious.
Your cupcakes look gorgeous but I wouldn’t have expected anything less. Yes, Celia’s series has certainly taken off – it must keep her very busy. I love how you’re using fair trade items xx
I’ve often wondered what a boiled cake was, I had visions of tieing it in a cloth and boiling the mix in a pan! Lavabread, I have to admit I’ve never been brave enough, although I bet the fresh stuff is better than tinned. Thanks for the glimpse in your kitchen. GG
Laverbread – for the longest time it was on my “food to try” list, but I gave up once I realised that it tastes crap if you’re not scraping it fresh off rocks on the seashores of Wales. It’s entirely possible that it tastes crap even when you do – I’m unlikely to ever find out. 🙂 The coffee sounds like a very good thing, even to this non-drinker, and I’ll look out for that peeler, I’ve been on a quest to find a replacement one for some time now. Love the cake – you’re not a rebel, love, because apart from linking back (which is really so everyone’s posts get read), IMK posts have no rules! 🙂
Every inch of my waistline is dedicated to these beautiful, delicious coffee choc cakes: breakfast, morning tea, after lunch, afternoon tea…you name it, I’ve had them.
Fatter- sure but oh so happier!
Chocolate and coffee…a dream team! The cake looks splendid, Tania. The seaweed or laverbread looks really interesting.
I love the look of that cake and little ones are too cute. I don’t like the look of that Laver Bread though. I had heard of it but had never seen it. Tell your friends not to bother bringing back any gifts next time!
Yummy looking cupcakes!
Okay, I’ll bite. Why is this called boiled chocolate coffee cake? The only time boil is used in any context is in the recipe name. I’m confused. 🙂 This is a normal position for me to be in but maybe I’m not alone.
Your kitchen stuff always looks better than mine. Maybe I’ll go shopping today. 🙂
Hi Maureen. It’s called boiled because you put all the ingredients bar the eggs and flour in a pot and melt. the first time I made it I did boil them because I went away and did something and suddenly smelled coffee and chocolate . The cake turned out just fine but I had to wait for it to cool down for a long time!
G’day Tania! Your cake recipe and photo looks YUM today, true!
Wish I could come through the screen and try some now and thank you for this month’s Kitchen view!
Cheers! Joanne
Yum Tan ****
Ooh this would be perfect for morning tea please Tania! And is that praline on top- yummo!
I’ve heard about laverbread before, but guess it would be a definitley unique ingredient. I wonder what the Welsh would think of our Aussie Vegemite? 🙂 X
