CARROT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare three 12-cup standard muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Add the oil and eggs to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until lighter in color. With the mixer running, add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and vanilla, until well combined. Add the flour to the bowl and mix just until incorporated. Fold in the coconut, walnuts, pineapple and carrots with a rubber spatula. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into each cupcake liner and bake two of the tins, switching and rotating the position of the tins halfway through, until deep golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely in the muffin tins on a rack. Bake and cool the remaining tin in the same manner.
- For the frosting: Meanwhile, cream the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a large bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and salt, then add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Top each cupcake with about 2 tablespoons frosting and swirl with the back of the spoon. Top with freshly grated nutmeg.

Steps:
- Combine cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract for frosting in a medium bowl. Mix briskly until smooth and well blended. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Blot grated carrots for garnish dry with a clean kitchen or paper towel. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Add carrots and stir until completely coated. Stir in almond milk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and mix just until incorporated. Batter will be soupier than typical cake batter but, if batter is too loose, you can add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Divide the mixture amongst the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Place the pans on wire racks to cool for about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the cupcakes from the pan and allow to cool on the wire rack for an additional 15 minutes.
- Frost with cream cheese frosting and garnish with grated carrots.

CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I love carrot cake, but most recipes are a bit too sweet for my tastes, especially the frosting. These are more savory, but still sweet enough to enjoy for dessert.

CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I loooove carrot cake cupcakes and found this recipe on AllRecipes and wanted it for my RecipeZarr cookbook :] I modified it as I deemed necessary (substituting 1/2 c. of applesauce and 1/4 c. of vegetable oil for the full 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, added 1/2 c. more shredded carrots, and halved the frosting recipe). I really enjoy toasted coconut in my carrot cake, and would probably add 1/2 to 1 cup of it if desired.

SIMPLE CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING(COOK'S ILLUSTRATED
If you like nuts in your cake, stir 1 1/2 cups toasted chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter along with the carrots. Raisins are also a good addition; 1 cup can be added along with the carrots. If you add both nuts and raisins, the cake will need an additional 10 to 12 minutes in the oven. Below are instructions for using a food processor. **If making 2-9" round cakes, make 1.5-2 of frosting.
