‘They really look like the picture when finished. My moulds must have been much smaller as got about 28 from a batch, but I was looking for lots to make as Easter gifts.’

This Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes recipe is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, whisk the sweetener and eggs until really frothy – this can take around 5 minutes.
Step 2
Sieve the self-raising flour and cocoa powder into the egg mixture and fold gently until mixed thoroughly.
Step 3
Spray the silicone moulds with low calorie cooking spray. Fill each of the egg moulds with the cake mix until they are around 3/4 full – this recipe makes 12 cakes. Place in the oven for 17 minutes until cooked through.
Step 4
Once cooked, pop out of the moulds and leave to cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, make the icing by stirring around 1.5 teaspoons of water into the icing sugar – it should be thick but runny enough to spread. Take 1 teaspoon of the icing and put into a separate small bowl with a couple of drops of yellow food colouring and mix well.
Step 5
Once the cakes are cool, use a teaspoon to create a little dip in each of the cakes. Place a little of the white icing into each dip being careful not to over fill. Drop a tiny bit of the yellow icing into the middle of the white icing to create the “yolk”. They’re ready to serve!
What could I serve with these Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes?
How do you know when the Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes are cooked?

Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes in the fridge?
Once you’ve put them out, ideally you should eat them within 4 hours.

Can I freeze Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes?
This recipe can be frozen before you ice them, but please remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough and before icing.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
- Defrost thoroughly before icing and eating.
Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
