Carrot Cupcakes for Joey

It seems I have never shared my recipe for carrot cupcakes here, which is odd since they're my favorite cake (except in the fall and then it's pumpkin). Technically Carvel ice cream cake is my favorite and what I like to eat on my June birthday every year, but since it doesn't actually contain any cake- carrot cake is the fave. I made these for my friend Joey because he is also a fellow carrot cake lover. Here is the carrot cupcake:



Recipe
