Carrot Cupcake
The first time I baked a carrot cake was last Dec 2007 but it didn’t turn out the way I expect them to be. As hubby and I noticed, something missing in the process or a certain ingredient has not been added. Though it got the taste of what’s the carrot cake should be, it didn’t have the moist texture that I like. So I promised I’m going to do it again.
Two weeks ago, I’m thinking about this carrot cake. I browsed on the net for another recipe that I can use and I found one at this site. (Love all the baking goodies at that site… 
) Anyway, so I bought a bunch of carrots from the supermarket, but it wasn’t done until last Saturday. The husband was around and he can look for the little boy and that I can bake successfully.
Ok, so I adapted the recipe here but instead of doing the round cake, I made it a cupcake and I didn’t put any frosting. And the result:
… the carrot cupcake that I really wanted. 
I use Pecans and the moist texture is now present. That’s because of the crushed pineapple I added, which I didn’t put the first time I baked.
Now the more I enjoyed my carrot cupcake together with my hot coffee… yummy!
I’ll do this again and I’ll try to put frosting on it…
[...] chores at the side. Weekends spent at home: Saturday, I’m in the mode baking and baked my first carrot cupcake and since it’s my Mom’s birthday we stayed online talking to my family back in Laguna. And [...]
yum!!!
I love carrot cakes. Natikman mo na yung carrot cake sa Carrot Cake dito sa Pinas Caryl? Grabe ang sarap pati icing. Yikes!
love carrot cakes too! matrabaho lang kasi you have to grate a whole buncha carrots… funny kasi d talaga lasang lasa ang carrot! the cinnamon pa!
great shots caryl!!
Hi! I love carrot cakes too! your idea of making it into cupcakes is brilliant. How long does it took you to make the carrot cupcakes? your cupcakes in the photo look so yummy. I think I’m gonna try baking carrot cakes too! Thanks!
masarap? di ko talaga type ang cinnamon, kaya di ko sure kung gusto ko yan
pero in fairness, ganda ng kuha mo 
Carrot cake is my ultimate fave. Kaya lang, I really am bad with baking. Im more a cook than a baker. I know. I am intimidated with actual recipes kasi, having learned to cook by eyeballing stuff.
This really looks good.
mmm..it is tasty…
thanks))
[...] he kept on bugging me to bake one since last week. So I baked this and sooooo good compared to my carrot cupcake. I’m proud of this one and I can truly say it’s really yummy, hahaha! The husband loves it. [...]
