Instructions
- Follow instructions in linked recipe to make the chocolate cake. Place cooled baked cake onto a serving platter and set aside.
- To make the chocolate sour cream frosting, mix butter, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar together 1-2 minutes to incorporate butter throughout the sugar. The mixture will be dry. Stir in vanilla and sour cream. Scrape sides and whip 2 minutes or until completely smooth. Spread frosting over the entire cake.
- In a small bowl, whip all ingredients for the orange frosting {carrots} until smooth. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1A tip {wide round tip}. Pipe 3 to 4 rows of 3 even rounds or dollops onto the chocolate frosting creating the tops of the carrots. Top each carrot with a sprig of mint. Spread crushed oreo cookies around each frosting carrot to create the dirt.
- Finally, line the edges of the entire cake with mini Cadbury eggs. Cut into pieces and serve.
