Time 1h20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 lbs carrots, grated coarsely (about 6 cups)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
24 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange the rack in the middle.
  • Coat two 8-inch cake pans with butter and flour, and tap out any excess flour. Set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, and salt in a large bowl, and whisk to aerate and break up any lumps. Set aside.
  • Combine eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla in a large bowl, and whisk until eggs are broken up and mixture is thoroughly combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in carrots and walnuts until evenly mixed.
  • Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove cakes from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the perimeter of each, and turn cakes out onto the rack to cool completely.
  • For the Frosting:.
  • Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat at low speed until sugar is incorporated.
  • Increase speed to medium high and beat until frosting is light and whipped, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • For the Assembly:.
  • To frost, place a cake layer on an 8-inch cardboard round, a tart-pan bottom, or a cake plate. Evenly spread about 1/3 of the frosting over the top of the layer. Stack the second layer, and evenly spread another 1/3 of the frosting over the top and sides of the whole cake. (Don't worry about looks at this point-this is just a crumb layer, and it will be covered up later.)
  • Place in the refrigerator until frosting is set up and slightly hard, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and spread remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, ensuring it's as even as possible. Serve.

3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
1 orange, zested
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and grease with butter spray.
  • Make the base carrot cupcake batter: In a food processor, process the carrots until finely chopped.
  • In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beating on medium speed between each addition until fully incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, beating on low speed between each addition until incorporated.
  • Add the coconut oil and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute, until fluffy.
  • Finish making the cupcakes according to your desired variation.
  • For the Cardamom-Spiced Carrot Cupcakes: When making the batter, add the cardamom to the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the carrots and 1⅓ cups Fisher Pecans. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. Bake the cupcakes for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.
  • Meanwhile, make the orange, cardamom, and ginger-spiced cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and vanilla extract with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until smooth. Add the orange zest, cardamom, and ginger, and beat until incorporated. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To frost, place the tip of the piping bag upright at the center of a cupcake and squeeze until the cupcake is covered with frosting. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes, then garnish the edges with the remaining cup of Fisher Pecans.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

- Be sure to peel and grate the carrots finely before incorporating them into the batter. This will ensure that they distribute evenly and blend seamlessly with the other ingredients. - If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made spice mix instead of blending your own. Just be sure to choose a high-quality blend that contains cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, tough cupcakes. Stir just until the ingredients are combined. - Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing while baking. - For a moist and tender crumb, be sure to cool the cupcakes completely before frosting them.

Conclusion:

These cardamom-spiced carrot cupcakes are a delightful treat that's perfect for any occasion. With their moist and tender crumb, sweet and spicy flavor, and beautiful appearance, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a unique and delicious cupcake recipe, give these a try! You won't be disappointed.
