Our mom’s carrot cake is one of the most popular recipes on our site, so we created this cupcake version based on the same delicious recipe. These cupcakes are made with shredded carrots, spices, and a secret ingredient\u2014pineapple. They’re topped with creamy, dreamy cream cheese icing because what\u2019s carrot cake without it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for the Perfect Carrot Cake Cupcakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carrots:<\/strong> Don\u2019t use pre-grated carrots. They are too thick and dry. Freshly shredded carrots are thinner and moist, which helps them melt into the cake, making it super moist. Pre-grated carrots won\u2019t give you the same tender texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crushed Pineapple:<\/strong> This is the secret to the best carrot cake. It might sound strange, but trust us\u2014it works. Buy a small can, drain it slightly, and mix the whole can into the batter. The pineapple releases juice and acidity while baking, making the cake balanced and moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream Cheese Icing:<\/strong> You can use other icings, but why would you? Cream cheese pairs perfectly with carrot cake. For something different, try our brown butter version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrot Cake FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I make the carrot cake cupcakes ahead of time?<\/strong>
A:<\/strong> Yes, you can make them ahead of time, but they are best served the day of. If you make them the day before, ice them and store them on the counter. You can also freeze the cupcakes for up to 3 months by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in an airtight container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I use pre-grated carrots for the carrot cake cupcakes?<\/strong>
A:<\/strong> No, pre-grated carrots are too dry. Buy fresh carrots, wash, peel, and grate them by hand for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I use a different type of icing for the cupcakes?<\/strong>
A:<\/strong> Yes, but cream cheese icing is our favorite for carrot cake. It adds a rich, tangy contrast to the sweetness of the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Can I use butter instead of oil in the carrot cake cupcakes?<\/strong>
A:<\/strong> We haven\u2019t tested it with butter, but we recommend oil because it makes the cake more tender and keeps it moister for longer. Though butter has a great flavor, oil gives you the best texture in this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
