The ultimate Easy Easter Cake! Our easy Easter mini egg cake is perfect for when you want to make a cake but without a whole lot effort!

I hold my hands up this is a…

REALLY, REALLY EASY EASTER CAKE IDEA.

The recipe is packed to bursting with cheat ingredients. And I’m not even going to apologise for how cheat-y and easy this Easter Cake is to make.

The kids wanted to do Easter bakes and this mama is all out of time and effort, but I still want to eat cake… so you can see the dilemma…
