My darling sister-in-law makes a delicious carrot cake. It's so fricken good! This time around she's outdone herself by a) making it into cupcakes, and b) sending me the recipe!
Ingredients:
Cupcake
Putting it all together:
Preheat oven to 170C or 150C fan-forced.
Put the brown sugar, oil, golden syrup, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl. Use a balloon whisk to mix until combined.
Sift the flours, bicarbonate of soda and All Spice. Use a wooden spoon to stir gently until just combined. Stir in the grated carrot.
Load a muffin tray with muffin cups and spoon in the mixture. Bake for about half an hour to an hour, depending on your oven. They will be ready when you stick a chopstick in and it comes out clean.
Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, place the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to mix until well combined.
Spread the icing over the cupcakes and shovel one into your mouth as soon as practical.
