Method
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder. In another bowl combine the carrot and the oil.
-
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet carrot mix, stirring until just combined. Add the beaten eggs and combine, stirring as little as possible.
-
Spoon the picture into the paper liner, filling them about 2/3 of the way. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and springy on the top. Allow to cool.
-
While the cupcakes are cooling, blend together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla bean paste until nice and smooth. Then, very slowly beat in the sifted powdered sugar.
-
Transfer the frosting into a ziplock bag or piping bag, and pipe evenly onto the cooled cupcakes. If frosting isn't standing well, cool for a few hours before piping.
