  Love this recipe, I always add less sugar, about 75g cakes are beautifully sweet, but I suppose it depends on how sweet the carrots are though! I use organic ones.

  I made them as part of a cup cake selection for my daughter's 30th. All the recipes were from Good Food, but this was easily the best. Surpised that small cakes could be so moist. On guest comment 'to die for'.

  I am a newbie at this.......well to be perfectly truthful...it is my first cake (I made a cake rather than cupcakes) to date and it was a complete hit with all who ate it. It was ever so simple to make and I followed all the advice given along in the comments i.e. about the orange juice and halving the amount of frosting and it all paid off. It's given me a major confidence boost and has me wondering...hmmm..what next?

  Made according to the recipe but used half nutmeg, half cinnamon as a substitute for the mixed spice and added two teaspoons of honey to the icing. The cake was moist, light and flavoursome and the icing absolutely divine. I tooped them with a recipe for candied carrot sprinkles that I found on the internet.

  Made this recipe again but as one large cake. If you increase all the ingredients by 50%, it fills two 20cm cake tins perfectly and was as yummy and moist as the individual cupcakes.

  Everyone I've made these for has asked me for the recipe! Always work out well and the topping is delicious - not sweet like buttercream but creamy with a tang of the cream cheese and a hint of vanilla!

  Wow! These muffins taste amazing and are so light and fluffy. I was a bit worried prior to baking because the mixture seemed so thick but they rose well. I also added a few sultanas and chopped walnuts. The frosting however was really runny so I ended up adding more cream cheese to compensate. I also added some orange zest to the frosting.

  Gorgeous Yummy cakes, Moist, light and delicious. I added orange juice and a large handful of Mixed seeds for texture. I used just white raising flour instead of half wholemeal, but turned out light and fluffy. I also used all spice instead of mixed spice as I feel the flavour is a bit more robust. Sloppy topping but i think you need to use full fat cheese. I just added a little more icing sugar.
