We’re an absolute sucker for something sweet. From Creme Egg brownies to Mini Egg cheesecakes, if it’s classed as a dessert? We’re interested. But, er, we’re also incredibly lazy, which means anything with more than eight ingredients (or two steps, for that matter), is a no no from us. Which is where the best mug cake recipes come in. Chocolate mug cakes, mug cakes with nutella, and mug cakes without eggs: here are the only 12 recipes you could need for making a mug cake in the microwave.
