Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Use refined, odorless vegetable oil. Any fat percentage of milk works. Optionally, add raisins or nuts. All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Step 2
In a bowl, sift flour to aerate it. Add baking powder, vanilla, ground ginger, and cinnamon.
Step 3
Mix the dry ingredients.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat an egg. Always wash eggs before use. Whisk it with sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 5
While whisking, pour in the oil. Mix until smooth.
Step 6
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture. Mix with a spatula or mixer until combined - the dough will be thick and crumbly.
Step 7
Wash, peel, and grate the carrots on a medium grater.
Step 8
Add grated carrot to the dough and stir.
Step 9
Pour in the milk and mix until smooth. The batter should look like thick sour cream. If using raisins and nuts, add them now (steam raisins in hot water first, dry them; toast and chop nuts lightly).
Step 10
Place paper liners in muffin tins. Fill each ⅔ full - they will rise a lot.
Step 11
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes. Test with a wooden skewer - it should come out dry. Let cool completely.
Step 12
Prepare the cream: soften mascarpone (or other cream cheese) and butter in advance.
Step 13
Mix cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Use a spatula or mixer. Pipe the cream on top of cupcakes or spread with a knife.
Step 14
Decorate with sprinkles or carrot shavings. Enjoy!
