Carrot Cake Cupcakes Tips & Tricks

  • Grating your carrots is recommended because pre-packaged shredded carrots can be drier and thicker. Freshly grated carrots provide moisture and a more delicate texture to the cupcakes. 
  • When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix only until they are just combined. Overmixing can result in dense cupcakes. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; they will disappear during baking.
  • Use a toothpick to check if the cupcakes are done. Insert it into the center, and if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, they’re ready.
  • Make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting. Otherwise, the frosting can melt and slide off.
  • If not serving immediately, store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
