Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden, risen and and skewer poked in the middle comes out clean.
Whilst my cakes were in the oven, I had a lovely long chat with my friend Karen!
Melt extra chocolate chunks separately in pans over barely simmering water. Today I used only white chocolate as this was all I had in my cupboard.
As if my magic, my son appears to like the bowl!!
Tomorrow my sister and her children are visiting;
guess what we shall have with our cup of tea?
Oooh looks yummy - you could do a recipe blog - loving the photos of each step :)
