Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Ciao! Today is the last day at the office before Holiday break and to celebrate Christmas with my coworkers I made carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! Here is the recipe:

Ingredients for the cupcakes (makes about 25):

240 gr freshly grated carrots

100 gr white sugar

100 gr brown sugar

210 gr flour

3 eggs

150 ml olive oil (not extra-virgin)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 pinch of salt

vanilla extract

for the frosting:

50 gr butter

315 gr confectioner's sugar

135 gr cream cheese (I used Philadelphia)

Pre-heat the oven at 175°C

Mix all ingredients together very well

Fill the cupcakes liners about 2/3

Put in the oven for about 12/13 min. Check with a stick if they are cooked inside, it has to come out clean.

Put the cupcakes on a wire rack to cool completely, and start making the frosting combining all the ingredients together and mixing with a spoon.

When the cupcakes are completely cooled you can frost them!

Here they are! Merry Christmas to you and your families! I will be back on dec. 29th.

Love, Fede
