PERFECT CARROT CAKE MUFFINS WITH DREAMY CREAM CHEESE ICING

Steps:

• Turn the oven on at 170°C and pop muffin cases into a muffin tin.
• Now prepare the pineapple. Chop into cubes of approximately 1cm. Heat the butter in a frying pan until it starts to bubble/foam, then add the caster sugar and pineapple pieces and move around until the pineapple starts to go golden brown in places. Take off the heat and leave to cool.
• Melt and measure out your coconut oil into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the muscovado sugar, eggs and vanilla extract and beat together until well-combined.
• In a separate bowl, weigh out the flour and add the bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Stir together.
• Add the dry ingredients to those in the mixer, with the machine running slowly. Stop when you have an even batter and take the bowl out.
• Finally, fold in the cooled caramelised pineapple pieces, grated carrot, sultanas and zest of half an orange.
• Fill the muffin cases 3/4 full and pop the tin in the oven for 20-25 minutes. When they are ready to come out, they won't be wet-looking in the middle and the cake will spring back when pressed gently.
• Leave to cool completely.
• To make the icing, beat the cream cheese with a wooden spoon in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, icing sugar and honey. Add this to the cream cheese and mix together until smooth.
• Use a knife to spread icing on top of each cake. If you like, add a little orange zest to decorate.
• These are perfect eaten straight away. If you're going to keep them any longer, put them in an airtight container in the fridge but take them out to come up to room temperature before you eat them.
