These carrot cake muffins with cream cheese frosting are deliciously light and fluffy.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated carrot
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottoms only of 12 muffin cups, or line with baking cups. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Step 2
Beat eggs and sugar until frothy and lightened in color. Stir in oil, vanilla extract, and grated carrot; fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to cool on wire racks.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare frosting by beating cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar together until fluffy. Frost the cooled muffins and chill until ready to serve.
