I love moist cupcakes and my favorite way to make sure they are moist is to add pudding to the middle! Yep, after I bake them, I pipe a little pudding in them…it makes them delicious and a nice surprise nobody is expecting. These Carrot Garden cupcakes are filled with chocolate pudding and are perfect for Easter.
