When you say "Cake Flour" is that self raising?................ though to be honest I don't know why I'm asking I recently found out I have type two diabetes ..... blast!

Yes - Self raising is the stuff.

 

Daughter emailed the recipe to me - I think she has got it from an American blog - she has changed the U.S. 'cups' to spoons OK but not the flour type.

Hehe, I didn't notice at first. Although it sounds fair to me!

just made this

 

its bloody gorgeous

[Mrs Tawny Owl]

Liked the sound of this so made it for my son when he got back from Uni.

 

You have to try things first don't you, just to make sure, and I can confirm It's really lovely.

 

I can see me making this when we have unexpected visitors, very impressive, and no faff!

 

Richard thinks some chocolate chips might make it even better, might be over the top but I'll try that and report back.

 

Must remember to look on this pert of the forum more often.

I should probably add that for anyone silly, like me, cake flour means self-raising. I used plain flour, then realised what I'd done, so guessed the amounts of bacon powder and bicarb to put in, and I ended up with a very risen cake, put it that way.

 

Also, the bigger the mug the better. Can't wait to try it with cream

[Black Ibis]

Microwave! What microwave?

 

Canal Boat had a steamed pudding hob version this month, with mugs standing in water, and covered with clingfilm.
