My back is doing much better now. It appears that when under doctor's orders to potter around, I turn to baking; I've made a meatloaf from my Mum's recipe (yum), a double batch of chocolate and cherry brownies from my Green and Black's chocolate recipe book, and Gloria's 5-minute chocolate-cake-in-a-mug recipe which is EXTREMELY tasty and

I'm not surprised you're back's doing better with all that chocolate. Good plan. :-) Seriously, I'm glad that it's improved.

(Also, cake-in-a-mug? I've never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful.)

I've edited the post to include the recipe. It's dead easy and extremely yummy!

Mmm, intriguing. How large a mug are we talking? Ordinary rather than small mug-size, or larger than that? (I'm in bed or I'd measure. I think they're half a pint?)

I used a fairly large mug because I wasn't sure, larger than an "ordinary" mug. In fact the mixture filled it about half full before cooking and about three-quarters full after cooking; given the solidity of the result it would be fine if it did come up over the top, so I think an ordinary mug would be fine.

My mouth is watering over the chocolate & cherry brownies. Care to share that recipe? Please :)

Now in the edited post!

Thanks! And I actually have a bunch of dried cherries already!

I just tried the mug cake recipe. It's amazing - not least for the "oh no it's climbing out of the mug" moment. Thank you for sharing it.

I made it with soya milk and the texture was just a bit rubbery. Any suggestions for improving that?

I found this via Dave of the soya milk. You can't believe how much trawling through the un-indexed archives of Little Dee I had to do to find that. It made my phone meeting quite enjoyable. ;-).

Sorry by "this" I meant the recipe.
