The recipe for mini egg chocolate mug cake is the perfect treat for one.
Whip up a Mini Egg chocolate mug cake in just five minutes in your microwave. All you need is a few baking essentials, including sugar and flour, an egg and some cocoa powder. You can enjoy these Mini Egg chocolate mug cakes just as they are, or you can treat yourself to an even more indulgent dessert by topping them with whipped cream or ice cream once they're ready.

- Drop in a few Mini Eggs, reserving some for the top, and pop in the microwave.
- Set your microwave to its highest setting and cook for around 3 minutes - it should puff up and over the top of your mug and be cooked right through.
