Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line 2 holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases, half-filling the remaining 4 holes with water.
2
Whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a small bowl.
3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the brown sugar and vegetable oil until smooth, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Fold the grated carrot and chopped walnut into the wet mixture.
5
Add the dry ingredients and fold just until no streaks of flour remain — do not overmix.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the 2 lined cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
7
Bake for 19-21 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the tops spring back.
8
Cool the cupcakes in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
9
Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together with a hand mixer until smooth, then beat in the sifted sugar until light and fluffy.
10
Spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting onto the cooled cupcakes just before serving.
