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!
