Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Mini version!
I used mini muffin molds as that's all I had. Worked out well, but I had to dig out a little hole for the fondant filling/topping. I added the cake bits that I removed to some Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of honey for a tasty dessert!
Easy to whisk up & bake
I found icing them a bit tricky so used an old egg box to prevent them rolling & the icing sliding.

‘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.’

A good electric whisk is really useful and saves a bit of elbow grease. This one from Amazon is stylish and won’t break the bank!

You’ll also need a silicone egg cake mould to give the Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes their shape.

How many calories are in these Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes?

There are 41 calories per portion in these Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes, which means they fall into our Everyday Light category.

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 1 pinchofnom.com

Step 2

Sieve the self-raising flour and cocoa powder into the egg mixture and fold gently until mixed thoroughly.

Step 2 pinchofnom.com Step 2 pinchofnom.com

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 3 pinchofnom.com

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 4 pinchofnom.com Step 4 pinchofnom.com

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!

How do you know when the Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes are cooked?

Place the mixture in the oven at 180 degrees for 17 minutes until cooked through.

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.

If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftover Chocolate Creme Egg Cakes in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.

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!
