• Step 1

  Preheat the oven to 180'C/350'F/Gas mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases. Mix the sugar and oil in a large bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Sift in the dry ingredients, and beat everything together until really well combined. Next add the grated carrots and stir through well.

• Step 2

  Place spoonfuls of mixture in the prepared cases, and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Watch these like a hawk, as they have a tendency to burn. If the tops are getting a bit dark and it looks like the innards are still raw, cover with greaseproof paper or baking parchment, and cook a little longer. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

• Step 3

  While they are cooling, make the frosting. Put the cream cheese in a bowl, and beat until softened. Stir in the honey and orange zest. Give it a taste to make sure it is sweet enough. Add a bit more honey if you want. When the cakes are cold, spread the frosting over the top and decorate at will.

They look delicious!

I like the fact that you use honey to sweeten the frosting and will keep this recipe in mind the next time I make carrot cake.

Thanks for sharing it with us!
