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. Add the brown sugar and beat until blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in half of the dry ingredients, then the applesauce and apple juice. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Fold in the currants and grated carrot.
- Drop 1 well-rounded tablespoon of batter into each paper liner. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
- For the frosting: Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipping cream in a deep medium bowl. Beat until the frosting is thick and smooth. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Frost each cupcake with 1 heaped teaspoon of frosting and serve.

GRANDMA'S APPLE CARROT CAKE
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
I inherited this wonderful recipe from my grandmother which used almost everything that grew in her garden to make cakes. Moist and colorful, this cake could be prepared during the Christmas holiday's season. My children used to beg for me to make it when they saw beets on the table!!

BEET AND CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES
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.

CARROT, BEET AND APPLE CUPCAKES!
I love to make juices and one of my favorites is carrot and beet juice with apple. I love to make these cupcakes with the left over pulp. My kids love them and they are healthy and delicious. I like to top mine with some cream cheese frosting. I know they are good when my kids give me a thumbs up.

- 2. Sift in flour, salt, cinnamon,baking soda and nutmeg. Combine just until all the flour is incorporated. Add your chopped pecans or any nut of your liking and fold in to the mixture. Pour into cupcake liners and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
- 3. When they come out of the oven let them cool and top with cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powder sugar is also good. They are good just by them selves hope you guys enjoy.
