Carrot Cake Cupcakes With Brown Sugar
Ingredients
Cupcakes Carrot Recipes :
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup sour cream (light is fine)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots
Frosting Recipes :
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
3 cups powdered sugar (more or less)
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, eggs, and oil till thick and foamy, 1-2 minutes. Add the sour cream, vanilla, and carrots and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and stir till just blended.
- Fill paper lined cupcake pans half full. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely.
- For frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, and brown sugar till smooth.
- Let sit for 5-10 minutes till brown sugar dissolves completely. Add vanilla, salt, and enough powdered sugar to make a frosting thick enough to pipe. Use a large star tip to frost cupcakes.
Notes :
This makes enough frosting to generously pipe frosting on the cupcakes. If you will be spreading it on, you can cut the recipe in half.
