Ingredients

Cake

  • 4 medium carrots
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

Cake

  1. In a powerful blender, combine carrots, eggs, oil, vanilla and rum extracts and blend until carrots are completely puréed (if you don't think your blender is powerful enough to puree carrots, grate your carrots before this step) and set aside.
  2. Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. Pour blender contents into dry ingredients and mix until completely combined (3-5 minutes).
  4. Spoon into lined muffin tins, ⅔ full.
  5. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

  1. Mix all ingredients together with an electric mixer until soft.
  2. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
