The Best Carrot Cake/Cupcakes Ever!

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a large bowl, combine all of your ingredients, except carrots, and beat until it is well blended. Once combined, stir in carrots. See, easy! I know it feels wrong not to cream the sugar first, then add the dry, but trust me. This works!

If you are going to make a cake, use three round pans. If you are going to make cupcakes, use any size muffin tin you prefer. Grease the pans or tins.

The cooking time varies depending on what pan you use. The cakes usually bake for about 30 minutes, and the cupcakes were 15 minutes for regular size, and 18 minutes for large cupcakes. As usual, monitor the cake/cupcakes, and use a toothpick to determine if they are done.

Let cakes cool. Frost each layer with cream cheese frosting, or buttercream, or really whatever you prefer. You can do no wrong with icing.
