🔪 How to Make Cadbury Egg Cupcakes

Step 1: Preheat the oven and line the cupcake pan with cupcake liners

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line the cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

Step 2: Using a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients

Using a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 3: Cream together the sugar, oil, egg and vanilla

Using a standing mixer, beat the brown sugar, sugar, canola oil, egg, and vanilla until combined and light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add in the buttermilk and flour

Alternate between the buttermilk and flour until combined and smooth.

Step 5: Fill the liners

Fill the liners about ¾ way full.

Step 6: Bake the Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes

Bake in the oven for 21 minutes or until the top bounces back.

Step 7: Cool completely

Allow to cool completely. This will take at least two hours to make sure they aren’t warm enough to melt the frosting.

Vanilla Frosting Directions 

Step 1: Mix together the ingredients

Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and whipping cream until combined and light and fluffy. Traditionally this will take about 5-7 minutes to whip.

Step 2: Add the food coloring

Beat in a few drops of the green gel food coloring.

Step 3: Add the frosting to the bag

Scoop the frosting into the piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag you can use a large storage or Ziploc bag.

Chocolate Frosting Directions

Step 1: Cream together the ingredients

Using the same standing mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, heavy whipping cream until combined, smooth and holds a peak.

Step 2: Add to a piping bag

Scoop into the piping bag. And, set aside until you are ready to decorate your cupcakes.

Building the Cupcakes

Step 1: Pipe green frosting around the cupcakes

Using the green frosting, pipe a ring of dollops around the edge of the cupcake to create ‘grass’.

Step 2: Pipe chocolate frosting onto the cupcakes 

Using the chocolate frosting, pipe a thick dollop of frosting in the center of the grass for the ‘dirt mound’.

Step 3: Add two mini eggs

Place the two eggs cut in half in the center of the chocolate frosting.

Hint: Fill the liners 3/4 the way full. This is about 1/4 cup of cake batter.

🥄 Equipment

• large piping bag with large star tip
• mixing bowls
• electric mixer

🥫 Storage

If you are not going to serve these Easter cupcakes right away, you will need to store them in the refrigerator. Make sure to place them in an airtight container so that they do not dry out. They will be good for up to three days.

You can freeze the cupcakes, but I recommend doing so without the frosting. Thaw them overnight on the counter. Make sure they reach room temperature before you frosting them.

💭 Tips

• Be careful not to overcook the cupcakes, as they will dry out and be less flavorful. I’ve over baked several cupcakes in my day and they taste way better when they aren’t overcooked.
• It’s important that you do not overmix the batter for this recipe. Once you add the flour you will want to mix until it is just combined. Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes.
• I used the mini eggs in the egg carton, you can buy them them in creme eggs or caramel eggs. I like the caramel eggs best, but you can use creme eggs also. you could also use the chocolate filled mini eggs if you prefer those.
• Make sure that the frosting ingredients are room temperature before you start to mix them together. Room temperature butter will give you a smooth frosting.
