A delicious molten chocolate Creme Egg Mug Cake recipe. Ready in just 4 minutes!
It’s that time of year again, when the internet goes crazy for all things Cadbury’s Creme Egg! To be honest with you I never intended to make a Creme Egg recipe this year.
This creation came about by accident one night last week when I was ransacking the kitchen for some chocolate (bad day with the kids…don’t ask!)
I decided to make a Chocolate Mug Cake and then spotted a couple of Creme Eggs lurking at the back of the cupboard. And so the Chocolate Creme Egg Mug Cake was born.
I have to admit I am partly chuffed with myself from creating such a rich gooey chocolatey creme egg concoction but also partly disgusted for the very same reasons!
Please don’t ask me the calorie count of this dessert because I don’t know and quite frankly don’t want to know.
If you’ve not had a mug cake before then I must warn you that it’s not going to be the most amazing chocolate sponge that you have ever eaten.
It’s cake in the microwave so it has its limitations but it’s ready in less than 5 minutes so who can argue with that.
The great thing about mug cakes is also the lack of waste. There’s nothing worse than buying or making a big cake, only to have to throw it in the bin the next day when it’s as dry as a camel’s flip flop!
It’s also a great cake to make with kids. So simple to mix together in a bowl, ready in just a few minutes and no hot ovens to contend with.
Creme Egg Mug Cake Ingredients
Ok so lets get started. The ingredients you’ll need are:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Cocoa Powder
- Baking Powder
- Egg
- Plain Yogurt
- Creme Eggs
How To Make A Creme Egg Mug Cake
All of those ingredients except the creme eggs get mixed together in a bowl.
Then half the mixture gets added to two greased ramekins or mugs. Cut one of the creme eggs in half and add on top.
Then top with the remaining cake mixture.
Cook the mug cakes separately in the microwave for 40 seconds. This is based on a 900 watt microwave so you may want to adjust that time depending on your microwave.
Top with the remaining creme egg, again cut in half and eat straight away!

I’m mad with Cadbury products and never found better snacks and chocolates (even in Swiss) and each time I come to England, I fill my car with Cadbury treats (especially toffee crunch fingers which are my favorites!) before going back to France… This mug cake is just devilish and will happen soon in my kitchen!
