Scrumptious Carrot Cupcakes Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cupcake Recipes. (Scrumptious Carrot Cupcakes Recipe). My daughter and I developed this recipe because we couldn't find one we liked. We prefer straight carrot cake, ie no raisins, nuts, or other add-ins other than shredded carrots. This was developed at 6,000 feet altitude; see notes for possible baking adjustments at a lower altitude.
