Was bored

Made this cake as have loads of eggs from our chooks. But alas I cannot have any today.

Hi well its a fastday for me also but I think I'd have cut into that lovely looking cake by now
Chocolate as well I can almost smell it from here Sue

We do that when we have loads of eggs as well! Only have 2 chickens at the mo so not really a problem, need to increase the flock!

Mmm that looks delish!
If you cant have some today there is always tomorrow!

What are you doing to me!!!!!!!!! lol it's my 3rd fastday and I'm really feeling it for the first time. Roll on tomorrow, this has been a hard one for me.
Enjoy your cake (tomorrow) it looks lovely.

Thanks guys. I do a lot of cooking and fast days included. I tend to make things for the next day. Eg shepherds pies, lasagnes, soups. But today it was a chocolate cake. My son and his girlfriend have tested it and said it's ok.
We have two hens also. Had them a year now, so haven't bought a single egg since New Year's Day when they started laying.

Lucky you to be able to have hens. Alas I cannot. I have discovered cake in a mug. Its a fantastic idea to have some cake but no leftovers. Mix one box of your favorite flavor and one box of Angelfood. Keep in an airtight container for later use. Put 1/3 cup of mix in mug with 2T water. Mic for 1 minute. Cake no oil no egg!

It was very nice. BTW my son said its a really nice cake mum, but there's not enough icing inside. Ho hum....back handed compliment. I will take that as good then.
