Advent Drabble 14 - Mugcake

Requested by chocolamousse 

John had an idea, in the formal, stuffy milieu of the Holmes family estate. Sometimes you didn’t want a seven-course meal. Sometimes you just wanted…a mugcake.

“But what is it?” Sherlock asked dubiously.

“A mugcake. What’s it sound like?”

“Don’t be insulting, you can’t possibly be making a cake in a mug.”

“Why not?”

“Because my mother doesn’t have mugs, John, she only has proper teacups in Limoges china.”  

John considered the cupboards. “That may indeed present a difficulty. Can you put Limoges china in a microwave?”

Sherlock immediately brightened. “Only one way to find out! Time for an experiment!”
