Thought you all might like this. It's all done from start to finish in 35 min add 15 min and it will be gone without a trace

Easiest Sticky choc cake I have ever met

100 g butter
2 eggs
300 ml sugar
2 – 4 tbsp cocoa powder


Melt butter and stir all of above together with a fork or whatever is handy.


150 ml plain flour (I have even used wholemeal flor)
0,5 tsp salt
0,5 tsp vanilla sugar ( can be omitted)
0,5 tsp baking powder


mix dry ingredients then stir it all together so there are no lumps


Pour mixture into buttered and floured cake tin (I use a spring form otherwise the cake is hard to get out or double the mix and cook in a large roasting tin)


Cook in preheated oven 25 min 175C


It will rise then sink, it's supposed to do that and it will be lovely and sticky in the middle when it's done. If you overrcook it it resembles a choc spongecake so you cant go wrong.


Eat as it is or serve with yummy whipped or double cream.


:exclamatiWARNING!:exclamati When you eat this all your problems might evaporate!

Electra Hornets nest isn't very good, read postmortem and then follow the series about Kay Scarpetta. Much better than Hornets nest

I haven't read a book since DS1 was born. Maybe when they're a little older I'll try again. I miss relaxing with a good book.

Had a fabulously long and relaxing bath and feel so much better. Just sorting through some bits and pieces Mum picked up for me at a sale on Sunday, a couple of lovely skirts, a gorgeous top and some other randoms odds and sods. Feeling pampered and spoilt now

My list for tomorrow as it stands now... I'll add Thursday in as soon as I see it. EDIT: Seen it!

Electra.. you are more than welcome, but we may be 3 or 4 train rides from you..

Lil_me.. check out the caffeine content of that blue vodka stuff.. coupled with colouring and junk you'll not sleep for a week! And that sounds likke a fab frame of mind to be in about DP's mother.. obviously she is trying to compensate for the inadequacies she now realises she had when they were small.. milk it I say!!

I'm watching Jeff Dunham on Youtube...I'm supposed to be going for a bath....my excuse? I forgot to put the emersion on:o I've been pampering at the same time so not a complete waste of time...:rotfl:

lil_me

Pigpen it's wrong to encourage me to drink neat archers, tut tut, I've actually needed a lot of my meds today so best avoid drinkypoos, it's a waste if you sick it back because the tablets don't mix well with it.

I've wrote the appointments down, then kind of stared at the lack of time left in the week. DP and his hbrother still in the conservatory now giggling over things on the PC, I can hear it restarting lots so it's obviously still playing up, I was cursing him at first thinking I should be in there studying but TBH he's probably done me a favour making me take the night off from it. I'm going to watch the Corrie rerun, sort the dogs out, get PL stuff out, sort uniforms then go to bed. Night night everyone x

Pigpen - I can babysit, kids don't scare me. Warning you though, I'm not very maternal and can't stand other peoples kids!
