Lemon & Carrot Cupcakes for Spring

April 6, 2015

Happy Monday and belated Easter! I spent the weekend baking these treats for my family Easter dinner at my Grandmother’s. I love Easter because it always gets me so excited for spring.. Mother nature had different plans though, and it actually started to snow in the middle of our Easter dinner. I suppose I can’t complain too much though because I do remember there still being snow on Mother’s Day last year! Man, what a drag that was.

Anyhoo, these cupcakes were a huge hit this past weekend, even those in my family that aren’t gluten free loved them! I’m sure if you’re not gluten free you could easily use a regular mix for this recipe. (If you do, be sure to let me know how they turn out!)

Ingredients
  1. 1 box of Betty Crocker gluten free vanilla cake mix
  2. 2 Eggs
  3. 1/2 Butter, softened
  4. 1 Tsp baking powder
  5. 2/3 Cup milk
  6. 1 Tsp vanilla extract
  7. 2 Tbsp sugar
  8. Zest of 1 lemon
  9. Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  10. 1 Carrot, shredded
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, start by combining all of the dry ingredients first.
  2. Next, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly then add the butter, lemon zest and carrots.
  3. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. For the icing, I used this recipe but also added some more lemon zest. Alternatively, you could just use Betty Crocker’s whipped cream cheese icing.

For the decorations, the flower candies and sprinkles I used came from Michael’s and the eggs are just Mini Eggs. How was everyone’s Easter? Did you make anything special? Let me know!

I had content planned to post sooner (like this photo as I’m sure you can clearly tell by the Christmas decorations 😅), but life happened and I ended up taking a break from Instagram for the rest of my holidays which honestly was really nice.

This week was my first week back to work, so I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with my pjs and Ruffi again this weekend.
