EASY CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES
These carrot cake cupcakes are so simple to make. For the carrots, we prefer to hand grate for the finest carrot pieces that melt into the cupcake batter, but you can also use a food processor. It makes quick work of grating carrots, but the pieces will be slightly larger. Some grocery stores sell bags of grated carrots, as well. This recipe is forgiving. You can make this with or without the nuts and raisins. We like using both granulated and brown sugar in this, but using one or the other is an option.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and the nutmeg until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars, and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined.
- Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 of the way to the top. Bake until the tops of the cupcakes are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt with a handheld mixer on medium speed until very creamy, about 2 minutes.
- For the creamiest frosting, sift the powdered sugar or whisk until most large lumps are gone.
- Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time until fluffy. For a thicker frosting, add an additional 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
- To make spiced frosting, beat in a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom.
- Frost cooled cupcakes and if you'd like top with coarsely chopped pecans.
- Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2.Combine #1 ingredients. Add #2 ingredients. Stir in #3 ingredients. 3.Pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 , two 9-inch pans or three 8-inch pans. (The cake is very moist so cutting parchment for the bottom of your pans will ensure they don't stick. I prefer to use the non-stick baking spray that has the flour in it for easy cake removal.) 4.Bake for 35-40 minutes for the 9x13 and 9-inch pans and 25-30 minutes for the 8-inch pans. You're looking for an inserted toothpick to come out clean. 5.Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely. For the frosting: 1.Beat the butter and cream cheese until nice and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until nice and smooth. 2.Invert the cake onto a cake plate or stand. 3.Apply a generous dollop of frosting and spread... 4.Gently place the second cake on top and continue frosting. Repeat with the third cake if you made three. 5.Refrigerate for an hour before serving for best results.

Steps:
- •In a large bowl, beat the first five ingredients until well blended. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and cinnamon; gradually beat into carrot mixture. • Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. • For frosting, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over cake. Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 15 servings.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have brown spots.
- Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple adds a bright, tropical flavor to the cake. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Mrs. Thompson's Carrot Cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of carrots, pineapple, and nuts gives the cake a unique and flavorful taste. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a rich and creamy flavor to the cake.
