With only 8 ingredients and one bowl, this rich and moist cake is really easy to prepare.

These hearty carrot cupcakes are made with pineapple, coconut and walnuts in addition to lots of freshly grated carrots. Even with the cream cheese frosting, they are more like muffins and are substantial enough to be a breakfast-on-the-go.
The recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes, where it is presented as a beautiful cake. I’ve made both [...]
