Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar Packed
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs Lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 0.5 cup butter Softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice For frosting

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. This keeps the cupcakes from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. This will form the dry mix that complements the moist elements.
  • In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Now, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending carefully to avoid overmixing. Then, gently fold in the grated carrots for that fresh flavor!
  • Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting by beating together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until creamy and smooth.
  • Once cooled, frost the cupcakes generously and enjoy your deliciously crafted treats with friends or family!
