    Hi folks – I hope you had a nice long Easter weekend and found some nice chocolate eggs and bunnies :) I’m still a bit in the bunny mood I guess, so I decided to make some carrot cake cupcakes. These recipe uses applesauce and pineapples – that makes the cupcakes very moist and fruity. I liked it – hope you do too.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line standard muffin tins with paper liners. 

    2. In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix sugar and apple sauce until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add carrots and pineapple and mix well. Add flour mixture and nuts and beat until combined. 

    3. Divide batter between paper liners and bake for 15-18 minutes. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack.

    4. In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter on high until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add powdered sugar in 1/2 cup increments until icing reaches desired sweetness and consistency. Pipe on the cupcakes and garnish with nuts (optional)

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Muffinblech mit Papierförmchen bestücken.

    2. In einer Schüssel das Mehl, Backpulver, Natron, Zimt und Salz vermischen und zur Seite stellen. In der Schüssel einer Küchenmaschine den Zucker mit dem Apfelmus verrühren. Eier einzeln zugeben und verrühren. Geraspelte Karotten und kleingeschnittene Ananas zugeben und verrühren. Mehl und Nüsse zugeben und alles kurz verrühren.

    3. Teig auf die Förmchen verteilen und für 15-18 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen.

    4. In der Schüssel einer Küchenmaschine den Frischkäse mit der Butter auf hoher Stufe aufschlagen. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und verrühren. Puderzucker nach und nach zugeben, bis die gewünschte Konsistenz und Süße erreicht sind. Auf die Cupcakes aufspritzen und mit Nüssen garnieren (optional)

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
