I'm allergic to carrots, but these cupcakes look so good that I might have to try making them with a different vegetable.

These carrot cupcakes were a hit with my family! They were moist and flavorful, with the perfect amount of sweetness. I used cream cheese frosting, which complemented the carrot flavor perfectly.
