Ingredients

Servings

Cupcakes

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 egg beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups carrot grated
  • 1 cup flour unsifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut shredded
  • 1/4 cup nuts toasted
  • 1/4 cup raisins optional

Frosting

  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • water as needed, hot

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.  Line 24 muffin tins with cupcake wrappers.
  2. Combine the sugar and oil in a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer.  Add the eggs and mix well.  Stir in the grated carrots. 
  3. Add in the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and stir until combined.  Fold in the coconut, nuts and raisins.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared cups.  Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool completely.
  5. Cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and light.  Gradually add in the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.  If needed, add in hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
