Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mix eggs & sugar until thick, about 1 minute (no longer). Add remaining ingredients, mixing until smooth.

Bake in lined cupcake pans for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, pipe "grass" onto each one, then top with three mini candy-coated chocolate eggs.

    Surprise, a cake recipe that doesn't start out "take a box of cake mix". Everything was easy except the frosting grass. Had some trouble with that. - 4/6/17

    Cake was very good and moist. I did make homemade frosting and added some green dyed coconut for the frosting. - 3/27/21
