Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Creme Egg Frosting
As Easter is approaching I thought I'd share a couple goodies I have made, Starting with Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Creme Egg Frosting.
**These are not vegan or healthy**...let's continue.
the original base for the recipe was from pinchofyum.com via pinterest but I did tweak it a bit...Here's what's needed:
1 Cup of Flour
3/4 Cup of Sugar
1tsp Cinnamon
.5tsp of baking powder
1tsp of baking soda
.25tsp of salt
1.5 cups of grated carrots ( I only used 2 Medium/Large)
2/3 Cup of oil
2 Eggs
According to the recipe it makes about 12...I think I got 9.
I also only used .5 Cup of Sugar.
350c Degrees for 15 mins.
As for the Frosting...I ended up with lots leftover I think I may do a makeshift cheesecake, as it is a cream cheese frosting.
4oz of Cream Cheese
4tbsp of Butter
2 Cups of Icing Sugar
1tsp of Vanilla
5 Creme Eggs.
I would blend the Creme Eggs first because crushing them still leaves large chunks in the mixing causing some issues when I went to pipe the icing.
Hope you like them!!
Big Love, thebrokeblonde
