Sometimes it’s the little things that make spring special. A quiet morning, fresh flowers on the table, and a warm, freshly baked cake straight from your favorite cup. This little cup cake is perfect for Easter time: quick to make, wonderfully moist, and just the right portion for a small sweet break. It’s baked directly in your favorite Eulenschnitt cup, simple and without much preparation.
Ingredients (for 1 cup)
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp ground nuts
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- Optional: 1 tbsp chopped walnuts
For the topping
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 tsp powdered sugar
- small chocolate Easter bunny
- chopped nuts (we used hazelnuts & pistachios)
Preparation
Mix all the dry ingredients directly in the cup. Add egg, milk, and oil and stir everything into a smooth batter.
Bake the cake either in the microwave (about 90 seconds at 800 watts) or in the oven (180 °C, about 12–15 minutes).
For the topping, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar and spread on the slightly cooled cake. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and place a small chocolate Easter bunny on top. Your sweet Easter nest for snacking is ready!
Little Easter joy in a cup
The cup cake is perfect as a small Easter gift, for brunch with friends, or simply for a quiet moment in between. This recipe is definitely one of my Easter favorites now! Do you have an Easter recipe that you make every year?
It looks especially beautiful when several cups are together on a table – decorated with fresh flowers, linen fabrics, and small details that bring spring into your home.
Tip: Bake several cup cakes at once – that way you always have a little sweet surprise ready.
