Time 1h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup white sugar, or to taste
¾ cup buttermilk
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  • Mix sugar, buttermilk, eggs, oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in pineapple, carrots, and coconut.
  • Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture gently into the carrot mixture. Fill lined muffin cups about 3/4-full of batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, at least 25 minutes.
  • Blend confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Frost the cooled cupcakes.

These cupcakes were a breeze to make and turned out perfectly. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour and have a healthy dose of carrots and spices. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

I've tried a lot of carrot cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cupcakes are incredibly moist and the frosting is rich and creamy without overpowering the delicate carrot flavor.

These carrot cupcakes were a hit with my family! They were moist and flavorful without being too sweet, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again.
