Bunnys Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes Recipes

BEST EVER CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare muffin tins with paper liners (enough for about 28 cupcakes)
• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl and mix them together with a whisk until combined.
• Whisk the shredded carrots into the dry ingredients.
• In a large liquid measuring cup (a 4-cup measuring cup if you have it, otherwise use a bowl), measure the oil and the buttermilk, and then add the eggs whisking everything together well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk everything together until no streaks of flour appear and everything is combined.
• Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups lined with paper liners, filling them only about 2/3 full.
• Bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 19-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the cupcakes comes out clean. After baking, set the cupcake pans on a wire rack and cool them completely to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, mix together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer (use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment if you have one).
• Mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Add the vanilla extract and cream, and whip on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• When the cupcakes have cooled completely, remove them from their tins and add the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a start tip (or your choice of piping tip).
• Frost the cooled cupcakes in a swirl motion and top them with a dusting of the cinnamon sugar.
• Serve immediately, or store in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to serve.

• For the frosting, cream the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the sugar and beat until smooth.
