The Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Just made these…and am now devouring them. Amazing. Adding to my recipe book. I just put a batch in the oven. They smell great and were fast and incredibly easy to make! It’s almost midnight here and my best friend turns 21 tomorrow. These are her favourite! She has childhood memories attached to these so I’m making these as a surprise! Cream cheese isn’t available so i’m playing with the idea of whipping yogurt and sweetened condensed milk together. I added 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple (without syrup) and it turned out perfectly moist.

Everyone absolutely looooved them. We love carrot cake and this one is really great because it has a simple ingredient list that we can almost always find around the kitchen.


They turn out so yummy, lightly spiced, perfectly moist, and oh that cream cheese frosting

I made these today when I saw this on Pinterest drinking some apple cider. Delicious! This recipe is definitely a keeper. These turned out just absolutely AMAZING! I made them for a family lunch and they were a HUGE hit! People were honestly mad when they were gone! I wouldn’t give these cupcakes away either! I would hide them away and sneak a sugary fueled bite every five minutes. Get the recipe here >> Apple Cider Cupcakes and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Buttercream @ wishesndishes.com

Out of this World Carrot Cake Recipe with Callie's Cream Cheese Icing

Image
I have been looking for a good carrot cake recipe for some time – I wanted something similar to what my mother used to make. I have to say this is better! The cake was incredibly moist and tasty. I cheated a bit by using a package of pre-shredded carrots and it still was great. As my family does not like cream cheese, I made a standard buttercream frosting with vanilla and cinnamon which worked really well. I was added apple sauce instead of the vegetable oil. I toasted some coconut flakes and decorated the sides of the cake, and on top too. I did concentric circles of coconut flakes and piped shell shape frosting. I piped her name in orange frosting in the last middle circle. It was lovely. It was very moist and delicious ! We love this cake! I love how easy it is to make and how amazing it is when it is done. We have left it out as well as in the refrigerator and it doesn’t dry out either way. This is a keeper for us! This Carrot Cake is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Seriously! A

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’ve been making these cookies for years and every time I do they NEVER last longer than a couple of hours… everyone loves them. I think they are amazing and a great addition to any holiday party! So tasty! I made a couple adjustments due to what I had in the house, and pure curiosity. I used 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup sugar (I want to try puréed dates instead next time!), extra vanilla, self rising flour (instead of flour and baking soda and baking powder), extra salt, and I increased the spices (adding nutmeg, ginger, cloves etc). My house smells like Fall! The BEST pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Great fall dessert idea. Get the recipe here >> Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies @ twotwentyone.net
