Easy Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Carrots: Shred the carrots use a medium or fine grate. Freshly shredded carrots add more flavor and moisture than store-bought pre-shredded carrots.

Vegetable oil: You can also use canola oil or, for a healthier swap, use 1/3 cup applesauce and 1/3 cup oil.

Spices: Make sure your spices are fresh and not expired for the best flavor.

Cream cheese: The block of cream cheese is best for frosting. Make sure it is softened, but still cool.

Whisk dry ingredients together. Flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.

Combine wet ingredients. Mix sugar, brown sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix just until incorporated.

Mix in flour mixture. With the mixer on low, spoon the flour mixture into the batter and mix just until combined.

Stir in shredded carrots by hand. Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl as you stir and avoid overmixing.

Bake cupcakes for 20 to 22 minutes at 350° F. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
Make frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Briefly mix in the vanilla. Add confectioners’ sugar and mix just until combined. Transfer to a frosting bag and frost cooled cupcakes.

Expert tips

Bring all your cupcake ingredients to room temperature. This will create a consistent batter and uniform cupcakes. If you have a kitchen scale, use it for accurate measurements. Otherwise, remember to spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it with a fork (never pack flour down into the cup).

For the frosting, use butter and cream cheese that are softened, but still cool. Avoid over mixing the confectioners’ sugar with the butter and cream cheese. Mixing for too long adds air to the frosting, which inevitably makes the frosting fall after you frost the cupcakes!
