Level 2 Chi Kung. Microcosmic orbit.

A wonderful sleep in followed by a mellow afternoon in which I wandered around in the rosy glow of actually having had enough sleep. Katie was keen for me to make eclairs but I wasn’t in the mood to try anything challenging, so I made Sue Wood‘s microwave chocolate cake, only with butter instead of oil. First microwave cake I have ever made (as far as I can remember – there might have been a pineapple upside down cake in 1988) and I had to make it in a silicon loaf tin as it was the only suitable tin for the microwave. It wasn’t quite chocolatey enough for my taste but, topped with mint-choc icing, Nick and the kids yummed it down. And it was so quick and easy – very useful recipe to have on hand. Thank you Sue.
