Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (6 to 6 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 packed cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup fresh unfiltered apple juice
1/3 cup dried currants
1 small carrot, peeled and finely grated
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup mini muffin tins with mini baking papers.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and allspice in a medium bowl to blend. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter in a large bowl until fluffy.

Fold in the currants and grated carrot.

Grandma's Apple Carrot Cake image

Rich, moist and cinnamony, this old-fashioned cake recipe was handed down from our beloved Grandma Kelly. It's a perfect way to use up a few carrots and an apple...and it's ideal for smaller families, since it yields fewer servings.

BEET AND CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES



Beet and Carrot Cake Cupcakes image

This is a modification of Recipe #114622. I reduced the fat and sugar and added some pineapple and raisins. I made it for a Mexico missions trip, and it was a hit with the high schoolers and adults alike. It can also be made in cake form, as in the original recipe. To make it even healthier, substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour.
