Yield Makes 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (from about 4 medium carrots)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg; set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, egg, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir in carrots. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture mixing until well combined. Divide among muffin tin. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. To frost: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and confectioners' sugar until smooth; beat in vanilla and orange zest. Top each cupcake with 2 tablespoons of frosting and spread to cover.

I made these cupcakes for my daughter's birthday and they were a huge success. They were moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect topping.

I've tried many carrot cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great. However, I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

These cupcakes were moist and flavorful. I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream and they still turned out great. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
