Maple Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
By · 1 Comment
Everywhere I look, I see another recipe I want to try that is all about pumpkin. Seriously, they are everywhere. I know that I just made pumpkin snickerdoodles, and they were great. But what about pumpkin English muffin bread, pound cake, or even ice cream? Even the new book from the boys at Baked has a section dedicated to this favorite ingredient of fall. I don’t even know where to start.
I’m sure there is some kind of rule about posting two, three, or five recipes in a row that are all about pumpkin. So I’ll wait.

Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Orange-Cream Cheese Frosting

Where I live, spring doesn’t seem to exist for more than a few days at a time. We get a mix of winter and summer back and forth until summer sticks around for a while. Last week, it snowed four inches one day, and by the next afternoon it was nice enough to enjoy a family party outdoors.
One of my favorite moments at the party was watching my little cousin enjoy one of these cupcakes. I wish that I had been able to snap a picture. As she held a mini cupcake in her hands, she proceeded to lick the frosting off the top before biting into the cake.
These carrot cake cupcakes are all about spring. They are light and moist, with just enough orange in the frosting to add a bit of citrus sunshine. I like that they have enough carrots so they don’t disappear while they bake. They are a breeze to mix together, and can be in the oven in no time.

That’s right. One bowl is all that is needed to mix up these chocolatey treats.
If you’re looking for a dessert that you can mix up quickly without washing every dish in your kitchen afterwards, this is it.
I topped them with tangy cream cheese frosting, but it’s difficult to imagine a frosting that wouldn’t pair well with these. [Read more...]
