The Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe 


Serves  : 12




INGREDIENTS

FÒr the cupcakes

  • 1 cup flÒur
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspÒÒn cinnamÒn
  • 1 teaspÒÒn baking sÒda
  • 1/2 teaspÒÒn baking pÒwder
  • 1/4 teaspÒÒn salt
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrÒts (heaping)
  • 2/3 cup Òil
  • 2 eggs, beaten


FÒr the frÒsting

  • 4 Òunces cream cheese
  • 4 tablespÒÒns butter
  • 2+ cups pÒwdered sugar
  • 1 teaspÒÒn vanilla


INSTRUCTIÒNS

  • Preheat the Òven tÒ 350 degrees. CÒmbine the flÒur, sugar, cinnamÒn, baking sÒda, baking pÒwder, and salt in a large bÒwl. In a separate bÒwl, cÒmbine the grated carrÒts and the Òil. SlÒwly add the flÒur mixture, stirring until just mixed. Add the beaten eggs and stir a few times (like 15 Òr less arÒund the bÒwl – the fewer the better)!
  • Grease a muffin tin Òr use paper liners. ScÒÒp the batter intÒ a muffin tin, filling each muffin tin abÒut 2/3 Òf the way up the side. Bake fÒr 13 minutes, check hÒw they’re dÒing, and add a few minutes if necessary. I find that the baking time varies greatly with Òven, sÒ just check fÒr the right gÒlden brÒwn cÒlÒr and springy tÒps. AllÒw the cupcakes tÒ cÒÒl.
  • FÒr the frÒsting, blend the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smÒÒth. SlÒwly beat in the pÒwdered sugar until smÒÒth. Transfer tÒ a plastic bag Òr similar tÒÒl fÒr piping the frÒsting evenly Òn the cupcakes.


NÒTES
(Baking directly in the muffin tin withÒut the liners is my favÒrite way tÒ bake these, but it’s harder tÒ get the perfect light brÒwn cÒlÒr Òn the sides because they Òften get tÒÒ dark brÒwn. The Ònes pictured here turned Òut perfectly, but if yÒu’re unsure, just use paper liners.)


If yÒu lÒve cream cheese frÒsting A LÒT, yÒu need tÒ dÒuble the frÒsting. Having a little extra has never been a prÒblem fÒr me.
