Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Carrot Cake Cupcakes.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 15 cupcake cups with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and mix until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the eggs. Mix well after each addition.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the grated carrots and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
Step 5
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar while beating continuously. Mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon, then frost the cooled cupcakes.
