Carrot Cupcakes

These cupcakes are reminiscent of your favorite carrot cake, but it’s the spicy ginger scented icing that makes these a stand out.

Ingredients

For the cupcakes:
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups finely grated peeled carrots
1/4 cup drained canned crushed pineapple in juice

For the icing:
4 ounces, cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup, unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/4 cups 10-X sugar – sifted
1/4 cup, finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 teaspoon, ground ginger
a pinch of salt

Method
Preheat oven to 350°

Line twelve muffin cups with paper liners

Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, oil and eggs in large bowl until well blended. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture in 2 additions, beating until well blended after each addition. Mix in carrots and pineapple. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
Bake cupcakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Turn cupcakes out onto racks and cool completely. [Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; store at room temperature].

Meanwhile, make the icing:

Use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. With the mixer on low speed, beat in the 10-X [confectioners’] sugar, adding only 1/2 cup at a time so that the sugar doesn’t fly all over the place. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high, and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add the crystallized ginger, ground ginger and salt, beating until well mixed. Spread the frosting over the tops of the cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve - or for up to 8 hours.

Peaunut Butter Brownie Cup
1 package (21-1/2 ounces) fudge brownie mix
15 to 18 miniature peanut butter cups

Mix brownie batter according to package directions. Fill paper-lined or foil-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Remove wrappers from peanut butter cups; set one in each muffin cup and press down until batter meets the top edge of the candy. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen. Editor's Note: The Test Kitchen staff found Betty Crocker's Fudge Brownie mix bakes best for this recipe.

Answer 7

If it's variety you want, mix a teaspoon of your favorite extract into the cake batter or the frosting. I like putting a capful of peppermint extract into the frosting and making mint chocolate cupcakes. Just pick your favorite and mix it up...as long as it's a good flavor combination you can't go wrong.
