Fall is over, but I still wanted to make these carrot cake cupcakes! You have to be willing to put in a lot of effort grating the carrots, but please don't let that stop you. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious!

1-1/2 cup grated carrots

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line cupcake tin with liners
    (Grate carrots)
2. Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a bowl and mix
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla and then add oil
4. Add the flour mixture and blend
5. Mix in grated carrots
6. Fill cupcake tin (These cupcakes rise a lot, so don't worry about not filling them all the way)
7. Bake for 21 minutes

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1/2 package cream cheese (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cup powdered sugar
