Ingredients

  • Cupcakes
  • 1 cup Plain flour

  • 0.66 cup Brown sugar-packed

  • 1.5 tsp Cinnamon

  • 1 tsp Baking soda

  • .5 tsp Baking powder

  • 1.75 cups Grated carrot

  • 0.66 cup Coconut oil

  • 2 Eggs-eaten

  • Frosting
  • 120 gram Cream cheese

  • 2 cups Icing sugar

  • 1.5 tsp Vanilla bean paste

  • 70 gram Butter-soft

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder. In another bowl combine the carrot and the oil.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet carrot mix, stirring until just combined. Add the beaten eggs and combine, stirring as little as possible.
  • Spoon the picture into the paper liner, filling them about 2/3 of the way. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and springy on the top. Allow to cool.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, blend together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla bean paste until nice and smooth. Then, very slowly beat in the sifted powdered sugar.
  • Transfer the frosting into a ziplock bag or piping bag, and pipe evenly onto the cooled cupcakes. If frosting isn’t standing well, cool for a few hours before piping.
