Bake Up a Surprise: Savory Carrot Cupcakes with Garlic Herb Frost

Today’s Unique Creation: Savory Carrot Cupcakes with Garlic Herb Cream Cheese Frosting

Hello foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and savory twist on a classic dessert – savory carrot cupcakes with garlic herb cream cheese frosting. This unexpected combination is perfect for a cozy night in or a fun dinner party with friends.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 200g of carrots, grated
• 150g of all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 2 eggs
• 50ml of olive oil
• 100g of brown sugar
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 100g of cream cheese
• 1 tbsp of fresh parsley, chopped

And don’t forget your kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• hand mixer
• grater
• muffin tin

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C and lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, olive oil, and brown sugar until well combined. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the garlic herb cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, cream cheese, and chopped parsley until smooth and well combined. Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the cream cheese mixture, adding a generous dollop to each cupcake.

This unique dish weighs approximately 840g in total, makes 12 servings, with an average weight of 70g per serving. Each serving of these savory carrot cupcakes with garlic herb cream cheese frosting is approximately 260 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to let the cupcakes rest for an hour after frosting them. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the savory notes in the dish.

I hope you enjoy making these savory carrot cupcakes with garlic herb cream cheese frosting as much as I did. Feel free to get creative and add your own twist to this recipe. Happy baking!
