Mini Carrot Cakes













Carrot Mini Cakes
Found here:(http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/)

I added this recipe because I LOVE carrot cake and I loved the idea of making little cakes in perfect portion sizes.

Moist Mini Carrot Cakes
Slightly adjusted from Dandee

2 eggs
1 C. oil
2 C. brown sugar
2 C. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 C. grated carrots
5 oz. crushed pineapple; drained
1 C. chopped nuts (I left these out)

Mix together eggs, oil and sugar. Add brown sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. Blend in carrots and pineapple. Mix well and add nuts. Pour into 9x13 greased pan. Bake at 350 for 35-45 min. Frost when cool. Adjust cooking time for cupcakes.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 8 oz pkg. softened cream cheese
1/4 lb softened butter
1-1/2 lb powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
I piped this on in a swirl and sprinkled on toasted pecans for the finishing touch! Pretty and delicious!
