How to Make Carrot Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vegetable oil.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Then, fold in the grated carrots.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost with your favorite buttercream frosting (recipe #188728 recommended) or store-bought frosting.
