Super-Moist Carrot Cake Cupcakes

I don’t brag much about my skills in the kitchen, but one thing I do totally rock at is carrot cake. So I thought I’d share with you my favorite recipe for carrot cake cupcakes

Ingredients 

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3 cups finely shredded carrots
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then stir in wet ingredients. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds, then mix at high speed for 3 minutes.
Pour batter into cupcake liners approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

  

I topped mine with cream cheese frosting, purple sugar sprinkles and Halloween candy-pumpkins for fun!

Dessert for Breakfast!?

Tonight at the grocery store, I decided to buy a little splurge for myself. I’ve heard so many people rave about Nutella, but I have never tried it. So I grabbed a jar.

Nutella and Bread

Holy crap. Why did no one wrangle me into buying a jar of this stuff sooner!? This counts as valid BREAKFAST FOOD? (So says the jar…) Seems a lot more like dessert to me. And on fresh baked bread? Can’t get much better than that. YUM!
