Spring has officially sprung and Easter is just around the corner! As you can imagine, Easter is our favorite holiday at NestFresh! Our hens are just clucking about all of the eggs the Easter Bunny will need to hide around backyards and fill baskets. Meanwhile, the people at NestFresh start to crave Easter flavors weeks in advance as we anticipate the coming fun.
Carrot cake is a traditional Easter dessert. While it is the perfect tasty treat, it can also be a big undertaking to make one. That’s why we developed this Carrot-Cake-In-A-Mug recipe. It is a quick single-serving taste of Easter, but without having to pull out all of the baking supplies before the big party.
