    Eggless Carrot Cupcake

    Apr 5, 2015 · 1 Comment

    Happy Easter !!! My 122nd recipe, "Eggless Carrot Cupcake", a light and fluffy cupcake. I do not have much of an idea about Easter. My only acquaintance is with the Easter Bunny and the colorful Easter Eggs I get to see in the supermarkets here. I love bunnies, they are absolutely cute and cuddly. And the chocolate cadbury eggs that are found during this time of year, are my other favorite. Hence no reason for me not to celebrate. Initially, I wanted to make a lovely bunny carrot cake with full of frosting and decorations. I loved the idea of using carrots in a cake. Then suddenly a thought of eating healthy sprung in my mind and thought of not overloading myself and RK with too much of sweet. Hence I turned into making a cupcake instead and skipped the frosting to make it healthier. The cupcake turned out super soft, moist, fluffy and just right that you will never miss the frosting. It is perfect to impress any Easter bunny 😉 This recipe was adapted from here.

    Notes | FAQ

    - Cooking time would vary based on oven setting. So adjust cooking time accordingly.
    - The same batter can be poured into a cake pan and baked into a delicious carrot cake. You can use a cream cheese frosting similar to the red velvet cake.
    - I had added the raisins, but skipped the chopped walnuts.
