Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini or regular sized cupcake pan with cupcake liners; set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, oil, pumpkin and eggs. Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Step 3
Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in carrots, taking care not to over mix. Fill the liners up about 2/3 of the way full. Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes for mini cupcakes or 16-18 minutes for regular sized cupcakes.
Step 4
A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Cool cupcakes completely. Frost with cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
Step 5
Using an electric mixer, whip the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the cream cheese and beat until completely combined. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
Step 6
Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon and beat until completely smooth. Frost cupcakes as desired!
