Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix with ingredients for making the cake or your favorite chocolate cake recipe
  • Chocolate Frosting
  • 10 Cadbury Caramel Eggs frozen
  • 10 mini Cadbury Caramel Eggs
  • Sprinkles if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a cupcake pan with liners. Spritz with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix and ingredients for making cake.
  • Using a large scoop, divide the batter between the cupcake liners.
  • Place one, unwrapped, frozen Cadbury Egg in the middle of each cupcake liner.
  • Bake cupcakes for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted to the sides of the egg comes out clean. (Do not pierce through the center where the egg is.)
  • Allow cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Pipe frosting from the middle of each cupcake to the outer edge and back to the middle to create a peak.
  • Press one mini Cadbury Caramel Egg into the peak of each cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
