CARROT CUPCAKES WITH ORANGE ICING
These delightful cupcakes are great as soon as they've cooled, but their carrot-cake moistness and hint of spice really come through the day after they're baked.

Steps:
- Make cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Line muffin cups with paper liners.
- Coarsely grate enough carrots to measure 2 cups using large teardrop holes of a box grater.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- Whisk together oil, eggs, brown sugar, grated carrots, and vanilla in a large bowl, then stir in flour mixture until just combined.
- Divide batter among muffin cups and bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted into center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and cool completely on rack, about 1 hour more.
- Make icing:
- Sift confectioners sugar into a bowl. Whisk in zest and 2 tablespoons juice until smooth. If icing is too thick, add more juice, 1 teaspoon at a time. Dip top of each cupcake into icing, letting excess drip off. Put a carrot curl on top of each and let icing set, about 15 minutes.
