The Best Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

These Carrot Cake Cupcakes are the BEST! Fluffy and plush with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting all over top.

The Carrot Cake Cupcakes That Won My Heart

OOH BABY these are so good! My husband’s favorite dessert is carrot cake, so the bar is high for us to have a really solid house-favorite carrot cake cupcake recipe.

(I’m also very attached to this carrot cake coffee cake, which is a bit more brunchy, so we now have options.)

They are fluffy and plush with a nice little domed top, but they are also dense and buttery-ish enough to feel like a proper carrot cake!

I am not much of a decorator, but my sister made these little cute carrot toppers a few years ago and I’ve been thinking about them ever since – they will get you some ooh’s and ahh’s at Easter brunch. (Instructions for making them is in the notes section of the recipe.)

Moist, tender, not overly cluttered, and crowned with cream cheese frosting. It’s a thing of beauty. Hope you love them!
