A little pick me up!

That sounds lovely. Next time I have some chocolate in the house, I will try it. I know you said it was optional, but I really love chocolate ?

Actually, I finished off my tea with the cheat's/poor man's version version - I just ate that many biscuits straight out of the tin (and now feel guilty about it)!

It sounds nice, but I couldn't eat six biscuits all at once.

Yes I thought that seemed rather a lot of biscuits for one serving. It does sound nice though, something nice and quick to make when you've nothing in the house that will do to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ha ha, this reminds me of when the DGC and I tried to make microwave mug cakes. They were like concrete so I made some custard to soften them up but they were still inedible.

Ps it was an ordinary cake recipe.

Pps I'm sure your recipe is better.

MamaCaz I love chocolate too! Don't feel guilty, it's a treat!
ladymuck it isn't actually a lot, it is just so the batter isn't runny.
Bathsheba it's great.
Callistermon that's a shame... you should try this one.
I meant to say, it would be lovely with cream on top. X

How about Lockdown cheesecake. A digestive biscuit, spread with cream cheese or mascarpone, with jam on top. No cooking , maximum calories, sadly.

At least the DGC still laugh about the microwave cupcakes!

No, no, no.
My summer clothes have all shrunk during lockdown.

It sounds absolutely gorgeous. My problem is I don't have biscuits, chocolate or a microwave....hahaha

Halve the quantity of ingredients that is, unlike myself who rarely when it comes to anything involving chocolate, does things by half.

Tattygran14 - I do that one if I haven’t made a proper pudding and it works with gingernuts as well!

Sounds interesting, especially the chocolate part!!

Most nights I have Fat Free Quark mixed in with a Chocolate Options. To that I add fruit (sometimes frozen so it takes longer to eat) and a Chocolate Brownie Fibre One bar broken into pieces. It is like eating chocolate brownie cheesecake and is relatively low in fat, sugar and calories whilst being a good fibre source. If you are on SW it is only 5 1/2 Syns too.

that sounds a really nice recipe to try.It's simple too,it never seems worth doing anything complicated when you're on your own.

Thanks for that recipe FlyingHandbag. I don't have inhibitions about that number of biscuits.
I have just started to make meals in a mug to try and control my portions and bought a couple of recipe books = Meals in a Mug by Denise Smart and Microwave Mug Meals by Theo Michaels. The results are delicious and I'm using my microwave like never before. How do you fancy chocolate orange cake, banana muffin with pecan and maple syrup, blueberry and almond cake, sticky toffee pudding etc. etc.
Theo Michaels gives a calorie count and nutritional info for each recipe at the back of the book. I wish I hadn't found the list!

As I don’t have a microwave oven, are there any cakes like this that can be cooked in a conventional oven?

I have just ordered the two books you mention Lupin for my two GCs. ? they enjoy them!

As I don’t have a microwave oven, are there any cakes like this that can be cooked in a conventional oven?

I'm not sure, there most likely will be. I love the microwave, I mostly use it for melting chocolate. X

I could eat six biscuits all at once...

I don’t understand how you can crush six biscuits into less milk than you would have in your tea? Unless you have incredibly milky tea?! Yuck

I think I'd rather eat the biscuits and have a cup of cocoa.

However, I've never bought Oreos and the cocoa in the cupboard says bbe July 2019.
I've no idea why I've kept it.

Aepgirl I don’t have a microwave either, but would get the same effect I would have thought if you did it in a saucepan over a gentle heat
