Yummy Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Share the Ideas & Inspiration

carrot cake cupcakes

Do you have wonderful memories of eating carrot cake as a child? My mom usually made them in the spring, especially around Easter holiday.

When at a restaurant I will usually choose carrot cake over a chocolate cake. I think I do this because carrot cake seems more difficult to make than other cakes.

But, making carrot cake isn’t as challenging as you may think. And these carrot cake cupcakes are super easy and delicious.

I encourage you to watch my how-to-make video first to give you all the ingredients and info to get excited about making them. First one is a quick 1-minute video – the second is a longer version. Take your pick!!

Then print your recipe below!! Happy baking!
