Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Thank you, Martha.

I have to say, honestly, that these were amazingly moist and delicious cupcakes. Let's hit it!

It seems like a lot of ingredients, but it was the easiest cupcake I've made in a long time. Note: Hot spiced wine in the cup all the way to the left. Had to share!


Peeled and shredded the carrots. Mixed them with the wet ingredients, then stirred in the dry ingredients!

Scooped the batter into the cups with my handy ice cream scoop!




In the oven they go at 325 degrees F. They were in about 24-25 minutes.

Fresh out the oven and onto the drying rack. Mmm hmm.

Mixed up the super easy cream cheese frosting while they cooled.

Toasted some coconut to look pretty on the top!


Check out those ladies! 

Had to show ya the inside, too! Obviously!
