Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Carrot cake or spice cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¼ cup cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup Powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Orange and green food coloring for decorations

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Mix the carrot cake mix with the egg, vegetable oil, and water. Pour the batter into your donut mold. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl and chill.
  • When the donuts are done, remove them from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Remove the donuts and decorate the tops with the icing.
  • Divide the leftover icing into two small bowls. Add orange food coloring to one and green to the other.
  • Put it into a small plastic bag and snip off the corner. Then draw on the carrots and stems.

Notes

  • The ratios of egg, oil, and water might vary depending on the box mix you're using. I'm using Duncan Hines Carrot Cake mix.
