Take 5 Carrot Cupcakes

My granddaughter was excited to make these recipes from Food and Wine.  They were so yummy!

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups finely shredded carrots (from about 6 medium carrots)
  • Cream Cheese Frosting

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F; and line 14 muffin cups with paper liners. Spray the liners with vegetable oil spray.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the canola oil. Gradually beat in the sugar at medium-high speed and beat until thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula, then fold in the carrots.

  3. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then transfer the cupcakes to the freezer to chill.

  4. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip with the Cream Cheese Frosting. Pipe the frosting onto the carrot cupcakes and serve. Alternatively, use a knife to spread the frosting on the cupcakes and serve.
