Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 cups grated carrots
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 tablespoon cake flour
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 drops orange food coloring
1 (1.5 ounce) tube black decorating gel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (If using a countertop induction oven, preheat to 325 degrees F.) Grease 12 pumpkin-shaped cupcake molds (silicon molds work well).
  • Sift 2 cups cake flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix in sugar, oil, and eggs until combined. Stir carrots and pineapple into the batter.
  • Place 1 tablespoon cake flour in a bowl. Toss walnuts and chocolate chips in flour until coated; fold into batter.
  • Pour batter into cupcake molds to about two-thirds full; gently tap molds onto work surface to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake in preheated oven (or countertop induction oven) until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes (or 15 to 20 minutes in the countertop induction oven). Cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes; remove from molds.
  • Combine butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well blended, 4 to 6 minutes. Mix in confectioners' sugar on low speed, 1/2 cup at a time, until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Add lemon juice and orange food coloring; stir until combined. Refrigerate until set, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Frost cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting; decorate with black decorating gel.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this cake was a complete failure. It was so bad that I had to throw it away.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and had no flavor. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and didn't have much flavor.

The cake was good, but it didn't really live up to my expectations. I thought the chocolate chips and pumpkin puree would add more flavor, but they didn't really come through.

The cake was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by adding some applesauce or yogurt.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
