Carrot Cupcakes Recipes

Ingredients :

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

4 eggs

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup grated carrots

1 cup sliced fresh peaches

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Frosting

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 2/3 cups confectioner's sugar

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

candied violets (optional), for decoration

Method :

Preheat oven to 325F. To make the cupcakes, mix the sugar, oil, and eggs together. Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the egg mixture. Mix in the carrots, peaches, and nuts. Place in well greased muffin or cupcake pans, and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until springy to the touch. Frost and decorate with candied violets, if desired.

To make the frosting, cream together the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and butter until smooth. When the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously with the cream cheese mixture.

Fresh peaches as well as carrots give these cupcakes their sweet taste.
