Delightful Carrot Cupcakes

Ingredients 0/16

Directions

Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, eggs, brown sugar, and grated carrots, stirring them together until everything is well blended. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Spoon the batter evenly into a 12-cup muffin tin. Pop the tin into the oven on the middle rack and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean—try not to overbake. Once they’re done, let the cupcakes cool completely, which usually takes around 45 minutes. While they’re cooling, mix the confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Cover it with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour before spreading it on the cupcakes.
