Receta Carrot Cake Cupcake with Italiam Cream Filling
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup dark seedless raisins (optional)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cupcake pans with liners.
2. In a large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat eggs, oil and sugar. Reduce speed to low; beat flour, baking soda cinnamon (I used Saigon cinnamon--more flavorful) and salt.
3. With spoon, stir in carrots, raisins, walnuts and vanilla. My husband doesn't like raisins and I was out of walnuts so I skipped those for these cakes, but they are delicious with them! Fill prepared pans. Bake for approx. 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
4.Cool. I used my new favorite Italian Buttercream to fill them.
