Ingredients

2 tablespoons sunflower oil
3 tbsp golden caster (superfine) sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons self-raising (self-rising) flour
4 candy-covered chocolate mini eggs, roughly chopped into quarters, plus 3 to decorate

Method

In a mug, mix together the oil, sugar, egg and vanilla using a fork until smooth. Add the flour and mix until just smooth. Gently fold the chocolate egg pieces into the top half of the batter.

Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, or until risen and springy to the touch.

Finish by sprinkling over more chopped mini eggs and enjoy.
