love the cake balls, one of the teachers where I work makes them with wooden skewers sticking out so they look a bit like cake (toffee) apples - she calls the cake pops.

The dining chairs were slung out a few days ago, so we have no seats in the living room:D I a sat on the pouffee with the computer on y DD's computer chair.:p

Hubby was on the pouffee but I nicked it when he moved so he's gone to bed sulking.:rotfl:

And in return:


5 minute chocolate cake in a mug! So easy and delicous with cream or ice cream.

I can't find the recipe I used to use. I haven't made it in ages!:o
But this seems near enough:

Enjoy!:D

For anyone who is on a low carb diet you can do something similar using flaxseed.

Half a cup of ground milled flaxseed (can use cocoa/flaxseed mix)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon sweetner

Mix it all together in a cup and put in microwave for 1 1/2 mins. Have with double cream

Also I use the same recipe without the sweetener and put into a small shallow rectangle dish (tupperware) for 1 1/2 mins and it makes a slice of bread, lovely toasted with cheese on and very low in carbs

AMAZEBALLS!!!! Literally! :D:rotfl:

They're brilliant jtz, well done!!!! :T and enjoy

And of course, you're welcome :A

Did you go with the microwave sponge in the end? How did it turn out? Did it rise well? Did you add bicarb?

Sorry with the 20 questions

Yep, went with the microwave version!:o felt too lazy to and too excited to make it the long way! Done it for 2 mins in the microwave and cake was completely cooked through.

Didn't add bicarb as didn't have any in the house, was going to use baking soda but thought it might make a cake disaster!:eek::o

I think I might have added too much buttercream, because although they rounded well, my hands were really buttery when I was rolling them!?:o
The buttercream recipe I used was also too sweet so might need to use less icing sugar next time. Can I do that without losing the buttercream texture?

Thanks again, off to taste them now, should have set by now!;)
