[@cindycheung741]

Gemma Stafford looks yummy i must make this but without eggs would use buttermilk...i have tried one of you carrot cake and one of your no bake cheese cake with browine crust it was a big hit..thank you

[@syedaafzal5551]

Gemma Stafford I used to bake all sorts of things on a stove top! That was before I bought an oven. Only, I used salt in place of water, and a steel stand in place of a plate! 😘

[@syedaafzal5551]

Gemma Stafford I used to follow your recipes then, too. 😊

[@dezraclarke1269]

Gemma Stafford is it only a breakable plate that can be used

[@RandomGirlFromThe90s]

Gemma Stafford this looks DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! And easy! Thank u Gemma!!! ☺️ you’re amazing! Btw been wanting to bake some danish butter cookies but I cannot find a recipe that convinces me, can u make some please? You’re one of the few people I trust! 👏🏽👏🏽 thank u!!!

[@paddysoni4795]

Hello Gemma. My 16 year old son made this cake twice last week. These were his first and second efforts. Both cakes were light and fluffy. On the first day we didn't have cocoa so we substituted milo. Used cocoa for the second. I posted on FACEBOOK and the wonderful feedback is really inspiring him. THANK YOU.

[@cheonsacher]

I made this a few days ago and it is the best chocolate cake I've ever had!!! It doesn't even need frosting!!!! Just a little powdered sugar or non is already amazing!!! You really outdone yourself this time Gemma😍

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Glad you loved it!

[@myinnocence8129]

My late grandma used to always make these cakes. I had almost forgotten about them. Thanks for bringing back such nice memories! I’m going to try your recipe.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing your lovely memory. :)

[@fanofpink]

You always have great ideas for people who don’t have an oven your amazing!!!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks, as always!

[@meerabmazhar6352]

I made it for my family and the cake turned out to be awesome- very light but moist. It was not time consuming at all and very easy to put together. My family loved it so I will keep making this every now and then. Thank you, Gemma!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted to hear it!

[@ambreenazhar5395]

I tried this and it was so yummy ...everyone who tasted requested me to make it again...thanku so much for great recipe❤️😍

[@pharoahmed7681]

Hi Gemma. The moment you cut that cake and took a slice off. I felt my heart sink and as it did my eyes involuntarily just went shut, i felt my mouth water. I am truly impressed as always only this time, its more than ever before. Thank you once again for an easy, affordable recipe. Always makes my child's lunch box exciting no wonder she looks forward to going to school.

[@taylormariebb3904]

Made this on my sisters birthday and her visitor said its delicious and they suggested to make your chocolate cake for sale. Your fan from Philippines.

[@aemzbillrav957]

I love your channel Gemma! I never bake a cake in my entire life, so I could say that it is my first time and by following your steps I couldn't believe I was able to do it perfectly! Thank you so much!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted you baked my Chocolate Cake recipe. I'm all about getting people to bake with confidence anytime, anywhere so keep on baking! :)

[@HowTasty]

Wow! The cake turns out so moist and soft thanks to the steam in the pan! Love this cooking method, mostly in summer :P

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Exactly! Give it a go. :)

[@dianajoseph3927]

Hey Gemma.. Tried this recipe today for my mum and dad's wedding anniversary. Wow!!!! Didn't know it would taste sooooo good. Thank u for sharing. It's was so delicious and just the right amount of sweetness. So moist and soft too. I had to cook it for around 45mins.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Fantastic! Glad you all loved it!

[@jenryann8183]

More stovetop recipes please!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Will do!

[@jenryann8183]

Gemma Stafford omg thanks looking forward to it ❤

[@tahminaakter9903]

[@loafandlife5649]

Can we add raisins, cherries etc to this cake without spoiling the it?

[@kristellyann6691]

This also works best with banana cake. So yummy, moist & rich in flavor. Yummmm!

[@maricarf]

I have been waiting for this Gemma! Finally I will be able to make a cake because sadly I don't have an oven. Thank you so much for this! 😘

[@SoniaJbrt]

This is a wonderful idea! Since we have a lot of problems with our power company here in South Africa, baking cake on a gas plate is a lifesaver when the power is out and the Birthday is the next morning. Thank you.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I’m glad you found this helpful, Sonia.

[@fooddiaries7747]

Hey gemma I always make cake with stove first you will take a pot cover the pots surface with salt put a stand in middle of the pot now cover and preheat for sometime now put the cake pan and bake!! You can do this method for even bake love you so much honestly!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@fooddiaries7747]

Oh thank you too and you can make any baking item with this method!!

[@bentleyr00d]

This is a great idea. In comments for cooking videos a lot of people from around the world mention that they don't have ovens, and anybody anywhere can could make this recipe.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Exactly! That's what Bold Baking is all about, giving you the confidence to bake anytime, anywhere. :)

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

I’m gonna try this!! Thank you!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I hope you do, Michaela: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/stovetop-chocolate-cake/

[@penny3180]

Our family’s oven broke a couple months ago, and I used your three layer microwave funfetti recipe to make my sister a birthday cake. For Fourth of July, I whipped up your whole cheesecake microwave recipe, shocking friends and family. Your no bake/ microwave recipes never cease to amaze me. Can’t wait to try this one!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm so glad you've been enjoying my recipes. Thank you for being part of the Bold Baking Community!

[@grat2010]

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Happy to hear this will come in handy. Good luck with your exams. Make yourself a treat! :)

[@raimukhopadhyay9539]

Gemma Stafford well i do have an oven but wiuld be glad to make it! And thanks for the wishes!!!!!

[@EmeliaSings]

Is it safe to have a plate in like that? It wont crack or something? I'm pretty new to making food and baking so I'm just asking :)

[@Barnesi94]

not if you use a ceramic plate.. after all they were fired first lol

[@AdrienneCM10]

I worry about the same thing

[@icequeen9]

I wouldn't worry too much, as Barnesi94 said ceramic plates are fired. But it's not the same as putting it in a hot, or even moderate oven. You're putting the plate in with the water and heating them both together, so there won't be any cracking due to heat shock, and then it's on a gentle simmer which is a lower heat than in an oven, and finally water is a great conductor of heat so while the plate is immersed and hot, you've also got it surrounded by water which is constantly pulling heat from everything and turning into steam, so the heat is never concentrated in the plate as it would be in a hot, dry oven.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks for helping!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks for helping! #BoldBaker

[@cadence5030]

It looks SOO good! Great job, Gemma!

[@BigMoneysLife]

If you can make a cake on a stovetop (which by the way... WOW!) there HAS to be a way to make cookies the same way!

[@shakilasaleem5003]

Big Money's Life search pressure cooker cookies, there are a few.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You've got it!

[@hibaz5157]

I've been making stovetop cakes for years because my oven hasn't been working for a while now. Glad to see this recipe!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That's great!

[@rashmiabhyankar2792]

nice recipe, hazzel free, how to apple sauce to substitute eggs

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can find all of my egg substitutes here: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/egg-substitutes-for-baking/

[@patsinnerdickey8440]

That is amazing. I would never have thought a cake could be baked on the stove top. Another good one Gemma💙

[@MaymayRostata]

So no need to cover the top with foil. Nice! I can do this

[@biggerbolderbaking]

No need. Just make sure the lid on the pot is tight so it steams.

[@mahimakhanna4114]

Hey Gemma! Thanks a ton for this recipe. I have made a lot of cakes on stove top using your recipes. The only difference is that I use a pressure cooker instead of a saucepan(and I don't put water). They come out really good and delicious😋😋. Just in love with your recipes😍😍. Have a great day!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That's great! I haven't used pressure cookers much but I hear they work really well.

[@mahimakhanna4114]

Ya!

[@yousufmuhammad2533]

U r amazing gemma...😍😍😍

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you! :)

[@rachelsweets]

[@anythinggoeskitchen2138]

Looks so soft, light and moist! Now I can have a nice cake even when I ran into a house without an oven. Way to go Gemma! Thanks!

[@charlinefrancois5712]

Gemma Stafford omg thank you

[@nabilachowdhury7983]

Can I use oil instead of butter???

[@SuperPuffie]

Hi Gemma, I’m a Singaporean mum with 2 dairy allergic boys. They’ve never tasted chocolate cakes coz’ usually there’s dairy content in chocolates cakes sold outside. During this lockdown, I’ve tried searching for chocolate cake recipes to try out and using different electrical appliances (stove TOP, table TOP oven, rice cooker)... with my last 2 teaspoons of baking powder... I hope and prayed that it will turn out well... I followed your recipe but replaced the butter with margarine. Steam at medium heat for 30min, still uncooked, so I steam for another 30min, then increased to high heat to steam for another 1 hr 15 min, so that the stick comes out clean. Total 2hrs15min steaming . After I cooled it a bit but still warm, it tasted delicious! My boys were so happy finally to be able to eat a non-dairy chocolate cake! 👍🏻We tried eating it chilled and they loved the chilled version better ! 🤣I think the chilled version’s texture tasted like pound cake. I will be making this more often if I’m able to get baking powder as this lockdown causes many things to go out of stock 😅. Thank you for giving me confidence and hope you can provide more recipes for dairy free options. 😋😊🌈

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing. I'm delighted your boys are able to enjoy chocolate cake despite the restrictions on their diet. Well done, bold baker.

[@keyshajones1866]

OMG I gain 10lb. Just looking at the pictures

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Ha ha. It's SO good. :)

[@ILOLnumber1]

Wow! With the steam, this type of cake seems like it would be more moist than an oven-baked one!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It is SO good! Give it a go.

[@lilydrayton4660]

This is really similar to the stove top chocolate cake video on Emma's Goodies.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It's been a method that has been done for years and I've received a lot of requests for it so happy to share my version.

[@myinnocence8129]

Lily Drayton My grandma used to always make cakes like this in the summer. No one on KZbin invented stove top cakes!! Can’t we all get along?

[@lilydrayton4660]

No need for anyone to be defensive :) There are many, many stove top cake videos on KZbin, but these two videos are the only ones I've seen that use this *particular* method using water and steam. How is that a criticism? I just thought it was interesting.

[@capitalj9976]

Lily Drayton Fascinating stuff lol

[@bushrafaroquei4600]

Hi Gemma..I made this cake yesterday...it turned out amazing..I've tried to make cake on stovetop so many times before bt everytime it became so rubbery that I almost swore never trying again..bt Thank God I tried this one..Thanks a lot for such a helpful recipie😘😘😘

[@malakoueslati1951]

Early squaddd where u at

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm here. :)

[@andrea_cabello_teach]

When I was little, my mom used to make sponge cakes or upside down apple cakes on the stovetop with a pot. Se did not use a waterbath like you, she put the batter directly inside of the greased pot. They always came out great. I had totally fotgoten!! Your cake looks deliciou!!! ❤

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That's a lovely memory, Andrea. Thank you for sharing!

[@yummyjoejow9624]

you steamed it so no bake cake. can you try sponge or chiffon cake like that no need of oven

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That's right, Jojo. I will see what I can do. :)

[@kylesleeper4905]

Looks amazing! I can't wait to make it! Love your channel and all your videos Gemma!

[@alexthankachan6884]

Hey Gemma This is just to thank you for this wonderful way of baking. I mean I felt that this cake was better than the one I bake in an oven. Honestly, I thought it would turn mushy since there was steaming involved but surprisingly it was wonderfully moist. I guess, the next time I make a proper birthday cake with chocolate ganache icing and all I will steam a cake instead of baking Thanks

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted you enjoyed my chocolate cake, Alex. Isn't it just lovely? I'm working on all sorts of new ways to Stovetop bake so stay tuned.
