- ¼ tsp ground ginger

Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions
To make the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. In a large bowl of a stand mixer bowl, add flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Using a whisk, whisk together until combined well. Using your stand mixer, stir in vegetable oil, and eggs (one at a time). Scrape down the sides of the bowl often. Stir until well combined. Add in vanilla extract and milk. Mix well until combined. Add carrots and pecans until combined.
- Fill cupcake liners until ⅔-¾ of the way full. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before icing with cream cheese frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and cream cheese and mix until creamy. Make sure the mixture is well combined and has no lumps. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. You can use a piping bag or butter knife to frost cupcakes.
