Pull Apart Cupcake Easter Wreath
by Jessie Daye
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger optional
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ cups grated carrots (about 3 carrots)
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans optional
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.Note: If making a large wreath like above, you will need to double the recipe and make 20-24 cupcakes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and the nutmeg until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla until combined. With a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the dry ingredients in small amounts, stirring until the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the carrots and optional chopped nuts.
- Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 of the way to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the cupcakes are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and cool them completely before frosting.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed until very creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Sift the powdered sugar into the mixture and beat until fluffy.
- Place the cupcakes around a platter in a wreath shape and generously pipe frosting on top of each cupcake. Spread the frosting on to all of the other cupcakes until it looks like one continuous piece and top with desired Easter candies and marshmallows.**All my candy items are linked here:https://liketk.it/58gfb**
