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.
