BETH’S CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES
Makes 12
INGREDIENTS
3 eggs
1 cup (200 g) sugar
¾ cup (180ml) melted butter
½ cup (120 ml) water
1 ¾ cup (210 g) flour
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) cinnamon
½ tsp (2.5ml) nutmeg
1 cup (150 g) grated carrots
½ cup (75 g) raisins
FROSTING:
18 ounces (504 g) softened cream cheese
1 cup (240 g) softened unsalted butter
1 cup (100 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
FONDANT CARROTS
8 ounces (224 g) fondant
2-3 drops orange food coloring
1-2 drops green food coloring
1 tbsp (7 g) of powdered sugar for work surface
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F/176C.
In a large bowl combine the eggs and sugar. Whisk together until combined. Then add the melted butter and water and whisk until combined, and set aside.
In a smaller bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, in thirds, stirring gently until combined.
Add the carrots and raisins stir until combined.
Fill a muffin tin that has been lightly greased with baking spray, ¾ of the way full with the batter.
Bake cupcakes for 20 mins or until slightly puffed and set.
Meanwhile prepare the fondant carrots. Pinch off 6 oz of fondant. Roll it out to a flat disc. Add 2-3 drops of orange food coloring in the center. Fold the disc in half. Pop into a zip lock bag and begin to knead the fondant until the color starts to distribute, when you see it incorporated and starting to work through, remove the disc and place on a powdered sugared surface (to avoid sticking). Once all the color is incorporated. Pinch off a small mound (about the size of a large gum ball or jaw breaker). Roll it into a ball. Then turn the ball into a 3-d triangle, then between your hands roll it out shaping it length-wise until it start to resemble a carrot.
Place carrot on your board and gently with a dull knife make horizontal impressions into the sides of the carrot to give it dimension. Set aside.
For the green tops, repeat the fondant coloring process with 1-2 drops of green food coloring. Pinch off a small ball the size of a pea. Roll flay and with a knife form 2 leaves. Set aside.
Repeat this process until you have 12 carrots and 12 leaves. This can all be done the day before and left to set at room temperature. The fondant will harden and make the carrots and tops less fragile.
TO MAKE FROSTING:
Place cream cheese and butter in an electric mixer, beat until combined and whipped. Slowly add the sugar in thirds, beating until combined, then add the vanilla.
Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with your favorite tip. I like Wilton’s 2D tip for these.
Once cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe a decorative mound of frosting on top, starting at one end and piping in a counter clockwise motion. Place the carrot on top, and leaves nestled close to the carrot top. The frosting will keep them secure.
NOTE: If not serving right away, you can refrigerated the frosted cupcakes and just take them out and allow to sit at room temp for 30 mins to allow frosting tops to come to room temperature. Then store the carrots and stems at room temp and place on cupcakes just before serving.

This was easy to make. Moist and yummy. I didn't do the carrot fondant decoration cuz I was making it just for myself.

I made this yumminess (as a cake) and it turned out perfect!!! Amazingly moist yet not sticky. The few changes I made were added half an apple (grated) to the batter and halved the frosting. And made two batches... both turned out well!!! Thank you Beth... your recipes are so easy to follow and give amazing results everytime!!
Awe YAY! So glad they were a hit! These are one of my favorites too! So yummy (and easy! that's the best part ha!)
If there's one thing I cannot do in the kitchen is molding things. Fondants, gnocchi dough, pretzels... I think I was born without that hability lol This is SO FREAKING CUTE! My little cousins would enjoy making those little carrots haha
Laura Biscaro Ha! And eating them too! :) They really aren't that bad! You'd be surprised! :) xx

Very nice carrot cup cake
Yummy! And cute
This is so good taste exactly like the bakery down my street! :)
Beth, please do more of the long-form shows with full menus dedicated to one party theme! I have watched and loved all of them, but have never tried any before :)
I was just thinking, it's friday night, hmm where's beth's video? and there we go! yay :D
Love all your videos Beth! You need to be at 1million subscribers. I'm surprised you're not! You're one of the best that I've seen on RUclips. Can I request more videos on easy appetizers? Thanks
Ahhh Carrot Cake is my favorite kind of cake.
Hi Beth! I love your channel! Everything looks so yummy and thanks to your detailed explanations it seems easy too.
I'm also vegetarian so please make more vegetarian food..! Thank you for all of your amazing recipes!
Yuli andstuff Aww thanks :) I've got a great eggplant dish that's vegetarian coming up in a few weeks. A real yummy one! So stay tuned!
So good👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷
Great video!
I just made it and its so delicious. My butter is 1 cup and i add no water. And my cream cheese is only 16 oz and i add 1 more table spoon of sugar to my cream cheese frosting and it is still good. Accidental mistakes hahaha but it still tastes so good
Great video, I must try! Also, maybe one day you could share with us your kitchen cleaning tips! Your kitchen is always pristine and your oven looks so clean! What are your secrets/tips in keeping it in tip top shape? Thank you as always for your wonderful weekly videos! I am also enjoying the gardening channel! Bravo!
1st comment! This looks so yummy and tasty! I hope you can upload more sweet desserts! This is amazing!
Love your recipe! I made it before but my cupcakes came out a bit dry. Would I be able to add some unsweetened apple sauce? For extra moisture, if so how much? Thanks 🤗
This recipe is awesome! I'm going to make it for sure ^^
It is okay if I add some crushed nuts?
Thanks for this wonderful recipe, looks delicious (a carrot cake lover here)
These look magnificent :)) you're so creative beth ;)
Oh and what I found special about your frosting Is that it doesn't have tons of sugar like most frostings have ;)
Christeen Jubran Ha I know I really prefer costing that is lightly sweetened! I think this is the best ratio IMO :) Enjoy!
I tried them today! They taste very good, however i suggest adding more carrots and less cinnamon :D
I love the recipe . Just make it. Onlt i did not succeed on the fondat but i will try it again. I hope i can share the picture. Just one question can i do this recipe but i will make it Cake🎂? Thank u for sharing . God bless.👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Happy Macaron and Ravioli Day!! :D I'm remaking your ultimate brownies LOL ;)
Harry de Aphrodite Vietnam Oh yumm! Lucky you :) !
Using the back of the knife to create the indents on the fondant will give it a softer look:)
Your idea of pea size is massive!!
Hi Beth, subscriber from Singapore! (: we tried baking it with your recipe but it turn out pretty dense inside. The cupcakes were not light and airy as it should be. Did we over mix it by chance or is it a spell cast over my oven? As my cupcakes never turn out to be the way it should be. Please help! Thank you! Love your videos!
Hi Beth, the flour is 2cups or 1 3/4 cup? As I heard u said it is 2 cups in the video and the description box is stated 1 3/4 cups. Thank you !
hi beth ! can i substitute the raisins with cranberries ?
are the raisins or any of the other alternatives you named necessary to add in?
I really want to try this recipe. I've been dying to make carrot cupcakes. Has anyone tried this exact recipe? If so, how was it? Thanks!!!
Hey beth
Amazing video as always 😄
I Dont have nutmeg.. Can I just use cinnamon ? Or any other alternative for nutmeg? Thanks
baby bear Oh sure you could use all cinnamon or add 1/8 of ground cloves or allspice would be good too! :)
Loved it! one question tho, does the melted butter have to be cold? Because it might scramble the eggs!
The DIY Life just slightly cooled. If you whisk while mixing you'll be fine :)
Hi can I blend the carrots ?
Hi Beth, would this food colouring be available online? Are there any particular brands that you could suggest?
Oh sure you can get it online. I really like the Betty Crocker Brand. This packet in particular enjoy! www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Food-4color-Clssc/dp/B004PXNV2M/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492609890&sr=8-1&keywords=betty%2Bcrocker%2Bfood%2Bcolor%2Bgel&th=1
eth can i use roasted carrot sweet with lesser sugar ?
I find that carrot cake is usually dry but this recipe seems to be very moist!
Hanna Schlegel Yes! It's the butter and water that keeps it that way :)
Is nutmeg, cinnamon and raisin a must
I loved how you pointed out us, raisin haters 😂
If this is made in a tin cake how long should I bake it
Om Shree Arts oven 350° and put the carrot cake cupcakes for 20 minutes.
hi Beth hope you can help me can you share a classic vanilla cupcake every cupcake recipe that I try my cupcakes end up tasting like cornbread. can you plz help.
Can you do it with candy corn?
Hi miss beth can i ask how many pcs of cupcake can make for that recipes
Oh sure these make 12 cupcakes :) Enjoy!
could I use an electric mixer?
Ewww raisins lol. I'm really glad you said walnuts cause thats the alternative I was thinking about :)
What is the measurement for the flour, you said 2 cups but the description box says 1 3/4 cups?
So sorry for the confusion. I think 1 3/4 is a bit better for a lighter cupcake :)
+Entertaining With Beth
Hi Beth,
But did you put in 1 3/4 in the video or 2 cups?
In the video I used 2 cups, but after making them a few more times, I find 1 3/4 cups makes them a bit lighter. So sorry for the confusion! :)
+Entertaining With Beth I tried the recipe!! The recipe is delicious, thank you for sharing this recipe Beth!!
Where did you get the cake stand?
jillhbaudhaan Oh sure you can get it on Amazon :) Isn't it lovely? www.amazon.com/Plate-Simple-Mosser-Glass-Jadeite/dp/B00USC38HW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1440415130&sr=8-2&keywords=Jadite+Cakestand+Green
It is lovely, and under $30! You made my day, I am ordering it now.
jillhbaudhaan Aww you bet enjoy it! I love mine it's really so elegant and versatile I use it all the time :) Enjoy!!
when you said 3/4butter how many sticks butter i need?? thanx
If you are in the USA, each stick is 1/2 cup so that would 1 and 1/2 sticks for 3/4 cup. Enjoy! :)
im from Puerto Rico greatings love ur channel
can i use this recipe as a cake as well instead of cupcakes?
Julie van Mierlo Yes of course :)
Can you use brown sugar instead of regular?
Oh sure you could do that but I would reduce it a bit but say 1/4 cup or it may be too sweet :) . Enjoy!
hey beth please can you do one cake for my bday i wolud love soo do one video and i`ll do it my bday is in 26th march so next week YAYY
You and Gemma nearly uploaded The Same Video only that Herd is a cake and yours cupcakes :))
Do Cream Puffs next please. I've always wanted to learn how to make them and you teach the best.
is it okay to not add nutmeg? is it really needed because I don't know where to get nutmeg in my place
AutumnFire you can buy at Wal Mart have more plenty nutmeg and I think it's cost about $2 something like that.
Can I find fondant at Michaels?
Yes.
Thank you ;)
Oh sure! :)
They are almost to pretty to eat 😁😍
I thought what could be really funny was to add some grated carrots/carrot extract to the fondant so when we bite in it, it actually tastes like carrot :D ! (Is it weird?)
theres a very grat sweet recipe for carrots in India if i use the roasted carrot sweet instead of the raw carrot i guess there would not be more water content to it and would taste better
Shahina Abbasi Oh perhaps! Great idea!
Hi Beth. Can I replace margarine for the butter?
Butter would be better, or swap for Vegetable or Canola oil, the same amount. I wouldn't reco margarine. Not good for the texture of these. Enjoy!
Who doesn't like raisins, they're raisins.
jillhbaudhaan LOL! Oh you'd be surprised! They typically fall in line with Mushroom and Olive haters :) They are real! ha!
Entertaining With Beth No wonder I find it befuddling; I love mushrooms and olives more than I like raisins, especially when sauteed in EVOO with sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, and capers, only to be poured over angel hair pasta...mmmm
jillhbaudhaan Oh yum! I know me too!! But it always amazes me that those of the 3 ingredients that get the most hate lol! And they are SO good! People don't know what they are missing! Ha!
Right!!!
Entertaining With Beth I HATE olives, but I love mushrooms. I'm meh on raisins.. I have to be in the mood to eat raisins and that does not happen very often. I usually skip adding raisins to my recipes. Now nuts...1/2 to 1 cup is a suggestion to me. Love nuts!
Give us a tutorial about carrots from marzupan and marzupan too.
Those darn raisin haters!
"I DON'T LIKE WALNUTS OR PINEAPPLES IN MY FUCKING CARROT CAKE!"
I am planning to do this but I have a question ,can I not add nutmeg
hi ma'am beth...can i steam this kind of cake
hi beth, 1 ¾ cup its like 300 gr, not 210!
'first
make carrot cake
Ummmm do you know what you're watching?
Can I just throw the carrots into the blender ? :)
aisha almoathen Ha! Well maybe? Not really sure what that would do. But if you try it I'd chop the carrots first and just pulse a few time and see what happens. If it's a success do report back! Because now I'm curious! Ha!
Hai Bet!
I love that recipe and i am going to try is out right now!
My mum loves it and she says it does not tastes a lot like carrots, is it true?
+ThatsJustMe SO Correct :) Doesn't taste like carrots at all :)
Thankyou! i baked them and i loved them, could you please next time also mention ounces in grams, please.
