Apple Mix Carrot Cupcake Recipe

These apple carrot cupcakes are exactly what takes place when you cannot choose in between carrot cake and apple cake; they're the very best of both, integrated. They are a little sweeter than a muffin, but with all of the texture and flavor from apples, carrots, coconut, and pecans, and topped with cream cheese icing.

( Or not. Skip the icing if you are being virtuous. You can pretend they're muffins, no one will know. But watch out, skipping the icing just might offer you an excuse to eat more of them than you should. Not that I would know anybody who would do that. Ahem.).

Apple Mix Carrot Cupcake Recipe.

Ingredients.

• 2 cups (260 g) all purpose flour.
• 1 1/4 (150 g) cups sugar.
• 2 teaspoons baking soda.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• 1 cup (236 ml) grease (light olive oil or canola oil).
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten.
• 1 1/2 cups loaded coarsely grated carrots (about 3 medium).
• 1 1/2 cups loaded coarsely grated tart apples, such as Granny Smith (about 2 medium).
• 1 cup (125 g) coarsely sliced pecans (or walnuts).
• 1/4 cup (15 g) sweetened shredded coconut.

Frosting:

• 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, at space temperature level.
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, at space temperature level.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 2 cups (260 g) powdered sugar, sifted.

Method

Preheat oven to 350 ° F( 175 ° C) and location rack in the center of the oven.

In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir in oil and eggs. Stir in carrots, apples, pecans, and coconut.

Place cupcake holders in muffin tins. Spoon the batter into the cupcake paper cups, 3 quarters of the way to the top. Bake 20-25 minutes (screening after 20 minutes), or up until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool entirely before frosting.

Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Slowly add powdered sugar and mix until combined.

When cupcakes are cool, apply icing.
