Let's Make...

"This Carrot Cake Cupcake recipe is so moist and delicious, with just the right amount of spice and filled with pineapple, nuts, raisins, and carrots, you might want to make extra."

Ingredients

What About the Carrots? 2 cups of carrots is usually about 3 large carrots. You can use a box grater or a food processor with the shredding blade.

TIP: I use 1 teaspoon each of vanilla and rum extracts. The rum gives it a slight warmth and brings out the spices.
