FILLED CUPCAKE IDEAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Make cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with liners. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  In another large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add milk and mix until combined, then fold in carrots and pecans. Fill liners ¾ full with batter and bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 20 minutes. Let cool.  Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until no lumps remain. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth, then add vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.  Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and frost cupcakes. Top with toasted pecans.
