I know that carrot cake is not for everyone.
It’s kinda weird, I will admit, putting vegetables in a cake.
But I actually love vegetables.
In just about every form.
The only exception I can think of is Jello.
Vegetables do not belong in Jello.
Just a personal opinion.
Anyway, I love the flavor of carrot cake and the spice that goes with it, and these cupcakes do a great job of being super tasty like that all by themselves.
Really, they don’t even need frosting.
But if you’re going to do something you should do it right.
And this frosting is definitely right.
Right for these cupcakes, right for pretty much any cupcake or cake, right for eating with a spoon.
So, these cupcakes would be the perfect treat for any spring time gathering and are sure to be a huge hit!

I love carrot cake! It's one of my favorites and I agree veggies are great in some things. I enjoy zucchini bread and desserts too.
