Ingredients
For the Cupcakes:
- 1 box carrot cake mix
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
For the Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar not packed
- 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings:
- Pastel Sprinkles
- 24 Peeps bunny candy
Instructions
To make the cupcakes:
- To Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, beat together cake mix, butter, milk, vanilla and eggs on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase to medium speed for 2 additional minutes.
- Fold in the shredded carrots.
- Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake 17-22 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
To make the frosting:
- Cream together the cream cheese and the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add in the vanilla extract and a few drops of green coloring.
To decorate:
- Cut out a whole in the center of cupcake in which to place a Peep. You want the bottom 1/3 of the Peep to fit inside the cupcake so it will stay in place.
- Pipe your frosting over cupcakes around the Peep candy using a star pastry tip for a "grass" effect. Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
Notes
- Note: Nutrition information is a rough estimate only; actual values will vary based on the exact ingredients used and amount of recipe prepared.
- Prep Tips:
- Food Coloring - plant based food coloring can be used instead of artificial dye.
- Butter and Cream Cheese - these will be easier to mix if allowed to soften at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Milk - The original recipe calls for whole milk, but any type of milk can be substituted if needed.
