A real question. I'm rather hopeless. I can bake bread, but most other stuff I try turns out rather wrongly. May have a go at a sponge.

I like baking, and eating the results :-) Attempting a victoria sponge and an apple pie for the weekend.

I didn't see that thread but have just found a few recipes by googling "chocolate cake in a mug"!

Ruth - the key to good sponge is starting with all your ingredients at room temp so take the eggs out of the fridge if that's where you usually keep them a good couple of hours before you want to start

Also, whisk the butter and sugar until its just off white, if it still has a butter colour its not done enough

...and make sure you have enough ingredients for the size of tin :-) The Bero recipe is a 2 egg mixture for a 7inch sandwich tin, but my tins mean I have to use a 4 or 5 egg mixture :-)

...and the best thing about baking is that you get to lick the bowl ;-)

Licking the bowl isn't as good when you're baking bread :)
