Carrot Cake Cupcakes Recipe
Instead of one large carrot cake, how about individual carrot cake cupcakes! These would be great for Easter dinner with the family!
Yes, there are real vegetables in these cupcakes! You can share that information with your kids or not…you be the judge.
You could also make these cupcakes using a cake mix, but you’ll be amazed at how easy a scratch recipe can be.
