Desserts - Cakes
CARROT CUPCAKES WITH GINGER-CREAM CHEESE ICING

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups peeled, finely grated carrots
1/4 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice, drained
Ginger-Cream Cheese Icing (recipe follows)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line twelve 1/3-cup muffin cups with paper liners.

Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl; set aside.

Using electric mixer, beat sugar, oil and eggs in large bowl until well blended. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture in 2 additions, beating until well blended after each addition. Mix in carrots and pineapple. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

Spread top of each cupcake with scant 3 tablespoons Ginger-Cream Cheese Icing. Garnish with candied violets, if desired.
