Easy Moist Carrot Cupcakes & Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Nothing says easter like a super moist carrot cake.
Ingredients cupcake/cake
2 cups (260 grams) all purpose flour sifted
2 tsp (12 grams) baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp (8.5 grams) ground cinnamon
1 1/4 (295 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (200 grams) sugar
1 cup (190 grams) lightly packed brown sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
3 cups (300 grams) grated carrots 4-6 medium carrots
1 cup (120 grams) coarsely chopped walnuts
4 large eggs (room temperature)
Walnuts for garnish
Ingredients Frosting
8 oz (225 grams) softened cream cheese
2 sticks of butter (227 grams) softened
1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
3 cups (390 grams) powdered sugar
Directions for the cakes
This recipe makes 12 regular size cupcakes and one 8 inch round cake (or 24 cupcakes or two 8 inch round cakes)
1) preheat oven to 350 fh (175 celsius)
2) If needed grease or line your baking pans
3) to a stand mixer or by using a hand mixer add the white and brown sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract along with the grated carrots and give it a good mix. Next add it the walnuts and mix to combine.
4) Pass through a sieve the flour, baking soda and cinnamon and sift into the wet mixture. Now add your salt and mix to combine. Note you may need to scrape along the sides of the bowl to insure all is mixed well.
5) Give it a final mix by hand with a spatula to be sure no left over flour is remaining at the bottom of the bowl.
6) with an ice cream scooper (or simply by using a spoon) fill to the rim the muffin tin. (We filled 1 tray of 12)
7) with the remaining batter we filled an 8 inch cake pan that was greased and lined with parchment paper.
8) Place in a 350 fh (175 celsius) preheated oven and bake until done. To check you simply insert a toothpick in the centre and if it pulls out clean they are done. If the toothpick is still wet you must keep baking.
a) Cupcakes baked for 20-22 mins
b) The Cake was 28-30 mins
NOTE please check in at the halfway point as everyone's oven is different.
9) Let the cakes cool in their respective pans for about 10-15 mins before transferring onto a cooling rack.
10) Once your cupcakes and cake is fully cooled you may now begin to frost them as desired.
Directions Frosting
1) To a bowl add the butter , cream cheese, and vanilla extract and cream together for 2-3 mins.
2) Gradually add in the powdered sugar until all has been incorporated.
3) All depending on the consistency of the frosting, should yours be a little looser you may need to refrigerate for about 30-60 mins before piping.
