An UNCOOKED chocolate cake!?
A sweet treat for that sweet person in your life, perhaps? 💕
In this video, I’ll be cooking up a 1940s UNCOOKED chocolate cake, a classic wartime recipe that doesn’t require any baking! During the war, ingredients like eggs and butter were often in short supply, so this no-bake recipe was a clever way to make a sweet treat with minimal resources. Join me as I follow this retro recipe step-by-step and see how it turns out! Will it be as tasty as it sounds, or will it be a total flop? Watch to find out!

In this video, I try my hand at baking something that I've talked about enough times- the iconic 1940s National Loaf, a staple during World War II in the UK. This hearty, wholemeal bread was introduced as part of food rationing efforts and became a part of wartime life. However, many people reported that, rather than this being a hearty wartime substitute for typical bread, it kind of tasted li...

I'm sorry for my ignorance , and I'm always eager to learn, but could somebody please explain why the cake has a gender ( she)? I notice this on several UA-cam videos and Im curious about why. I hope that I don't offend anyone (or any cakes)😊 by asking this question but I'd REALLY like to know! Thank you ❤❤❤
Just found your channel but love the content
Lol all those chemicals. No way should anyone use Vaseline on their skin or any of those face creams .
It reminds me of a treacle tart, they're made with breadcrumbs
How very interesting and special this video! Much love and greetings from South of France
I used those types of rollers and you needed to be careful because the plastic closures would leave impressions (lines) on your hair. Pond's cold cream and Vaseline were staples in the medicine cabinet. I loved eating fresh veggies straight from the garden. What you find in the grocery store today has no flavor at all, especially tomatoes.
Nice try, having lived through the 40s i can see the flaws but I don't blame you. Life was very hard through the war and after. I never knew anyone with an indoor lavatory, our 30s house had one just next to the backdoor and coalhouse. Our kitchen/living room had a bungalow range with a coal oven next to the fire. Mostly the floor coverings were linoleum (lino) with a carpet square if you were lucky. small mats or pegged rugs were common. There were fireplaces in the bedrooms and the front room but they were rarely used as coal was on ration. Hot water was available in the scullery and bathroom only if the fire was on and the damper was taken out. Furniture tended to be art deco if you could afford it; sideboards with rounded ends were fashionable but during the war there were only Utility patterns available (my Utility single bed lasted for over 50 years before I gave it away). I'd better stop droning on best of luck with your house.
She puts on clear nail polish then fingers her hair as she dries it ??!!!
Lovely house ❤😊
Wonderful, I really enjoyed this video, it was fun and informative, thank you. You've just got yourself another subscriber 🤗
I've been getting into old school dinner recipes, and making some of the desserts we used to used to have. I was just contemplating making chocolate sponge and custard when this vid popped up! That cake looked delicious!
Lovely video. The cake makes me think of mix between chocolate biscuit cake and a chocolate crunch.
What was it with apples? A domestic product you didn't have to import, with a plentiful supply in-season. Likely a lot also went to cold-storage or preserved as apple sauce, making them more consistently available.
I use beef tallow on my face. All natural, and creamy and non-greasy. 👍
I love your videos 💕
My mom and dad are from Puerto Rico born and raised they are both born 1944. They both told me why they made the move to NYC. When they got married. They had a rough up bringing. In PR today PR is more modern.
I am just fascinated by the dreamcatcher hung on the crucifix.
So, I’m totally confused. Weren’t tinned goods like SPAM and certain veg like tomatoes also rationed? Wouldn’t that have a dramatic effect on this experiment?
I was immediately thinking could it be like a chocolate tiffin just without the raisins? Given you're a bird mum already would you ever consider getting chickens? Especially as it would help any rationing challenges :P
Put a drop of cooking oil on the spoon before scooping honey/syrup, it'll side right off
sort of looks like the Swedish chocolate cake i got from IKEA (although would it have been better with proper coco powder looked like you used drinking chocolate which contains milk powder and sugar
Cake looks really nice.x
This is a modern world. Bung it into the freezer and an hour might be enough.☕
Would it be reminding you of a Tiffin cake do you think? Just breadcrumbs rather than biscuits.
Grease and flour tin.xxxx
Open lid fully, heat spoon in hot water, then spoon syrup. Advice from an oldie. Love your channel.x❤
She opened the tin with a tin opener in an earlier video 😂
@ yes need to just flip the lid off, i admire what she does though.x
Have you written any books? You should self publish on barnes and nobles. The ebooks would allow you to embedd your videos.
I grew up around my grandmother, I'm 57 now and I still use ponds to this day.
You are just gorgeous! Wonderful video, great instructions! Thank you.
I've found it helps the rise to stir the water and flour together _briefly_, let them sit for about 20~30 minutes, and then go on with adding the other ingredients, kneading and rising. The wait time lets the bits of bran soften so they don't cut the strands of gluten so much.
When you said "a nice cup of tea " it made me think...every cup of tea is heavenly. I wonder why we British are so comforted by tea 😊
I just adore you. What an accomplishmemts, CONGRATULATIONS 💚💚💚
Impressive!
Ooo my mom used to make no bake cookies all the time when I was a kid, I should make some soon!
We had a small covered black enamel roasting pan , but no aluminum foil.
I would most definitely try this, chocolate is my biggest guilty pleasure. 🥰
Where are you're pajamas from? I want a pair
Could we have the recipe please? It sounds so delicious...i love english recipes❤.
Excellent work 💜🙏🏾🕊
I found your channel last week and immediately sunscibed! That cake looks delicious. My go-to,fail proof, cake recipe is the " depression " cake. It is said to be named both for it's era , and the fact that it can be mixed in one pan. The wet ingredients are added to 3 depressions made in the already combined dry ingredients (oil, vanilla, vinegar) before being covered with water. Give a stir and pop in the oven. It is lovely. Thank you for the beautiful and informative content. Love from British Columbia, Canada 😊
Thank you for posting! Inspires me to be more mindful of my shopping and eating habits! ❤
My mother and father were born in 1918. My father was in Honolulu in the Navy when it was bombed. Meanwhile, my mother was working in Alaska as a surveyor for the highway department. They met right after the war. They went through so much during the 40's, but had so much joy also. I'm now almost 73 and love everything vintage and antique. I lost all my grandparents by the time I was 3, but now have 13 grandkids of my own. All 5 of my kids love antiques and treasure things handed down from my parents. I love your channel! Thank you.
Wasn’t flour rationed? And you could always “grow” vegetables down at the allotment… vege weren’t rationed
The night with without meat people substituted dry beans, dry and fresh peas, bone broths, for flavor without having meat.
During the depression and ww2 people did a lot of foraging. Dandelion greens cooked and as salad, stinging nettles, asparagus, wild berries, nuts all in season.
I am a new subscriber! I loved this video and loved your house! It’s so cozy and vintage. ❤️ My mom passed away last year. She was 78 yrs old. Watching your videos reminded me of her and my aunts who also passed away. Their pictures were always stunning and they always were very focused on the style and their appearance. The main focus was always the hair. My mom for YEARS washed religiously her hair on Sundays very early in the morning. Would use some “wired/net like” rollers and be at least an hour under the dryer while she read the newspaper and fixed her nails. Every morning she would wake up at 4:00 am to take a bath, put on her makeup while sitting at her vanity and doing some rollers on the top of her hair. She used Ponds at night. Her hair was ALWAYS set. And she had beautiful skin! I think we should rescue some of those old habits. Especially spending quality time together as a family.
You look especially nice in this blouse, jumper & pants. Also, that shade of eyeshadow is especially flattering to your 👁️👁️
In the USA one cup of coffee per day for a house hold. Was the average ration. People used additives like roasted dandelion root or chicory and reused the grounds refreshing them with a teaspoon of coffee each day for that week. By the end of the week it tasted more like brown water . Roasted dandelion root and chicory both sort of have a coffee like flavor but it caffeine free.
Round the 7 minute mark of the video, I just wanted to share with you that you shouldn’t put any sort of freak catcher in your home, as it is not a Christian object, and especially placing it over a cross… as you can see in the video, you did just that. No hate at all, just wanting to let you know. And also, you should definitely look into items you shouldn’t keep in your home, as it is quite interesting some things we never even considered “demonic” are actually! Hope this helps! ❤️❤️❤️
I will definitely try it.
