Cuisine american

Ingredients

Cupcake batter:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 lb carrots peeled and grated
  • 1 cup pecans finely chopped (optional if you have a nut allergy)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 250 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 24 Candy carrot decorations
  • 24 mini chocolate bunnies

Instructions

Bake the cake:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger and nutmeg.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating with each addition. Add the vanilla extract, water and carrots and beat until combined. Add the flour and pecans and mix together on low speed, until fully combined.
  • Divide the batter between 2 lined muffin tins. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centers comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.

Make the frosting:

  • Beat the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and combine.
  • Add the confectioner’s sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip.

Decorate:

  • Pipe swirls of buttercream onto each cupcake.
  • Top with a chocolate bunny and a candy carrot. Enjoy!
