If you love apples and carrott cake this is the cupcake for you!!!
What You Need:
for the cupcakes:
1/2 cup safflower or other light oil
1/2 cup softened butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 carrots (peeled or not -- I peeled mine)
3 small apples (peeled or not -- I did not peel these, and I used Granny Smith)
for the frosting:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
5 to 6 cups confectioner's sugar
How it's Done:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line mini cupcake tin with papers or spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Grate the carrots and apples and set them aside.
Beat butter, oil, and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between additions. Add vanilla extract.
Slowly stir in flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Once all are incorporated, beat on medium-high 2 minutes.
Fold in apples and carrots.
Fill cupcake tins all the way to the top. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until top springs back when pressed gently. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat together the butter and honey. Slowly add the confectioner's sugar until the desired consistency is met. If you want to color the frosting, do so before adding the confectioner's sugar. Frost as desired.
Ok a FALL DECORATING IDEA:
Also I decided that I will post a fall decorating idea just from pictures I have found everytime i post, (if i could find my camera i could post some of my own!) I love seasonal decorations! love love them! and pumpkins are my favorite!!!
Ok this one i just loved! If you have any indoor plants just go out and buy a a big enough pumpkin wrap the bottom of the plant container with a trashbag, cut a whole in top of pumpkin and use as a new plant holder! then once the pumpkin is getting mushy lol take the plant out and throw away trash bag...easy cheesy!!
STARTING NEW TESTAMENT TOMORROW:
Ok so we just finished up the old testament today! and I am going to miss it! I honestly loved loved it! If people would just give the bible a chance so they could see what it REALLY is about and CONNECTED it is, it's one big story, If read in chronological order you can start to understand different things which you may never before, for example i will list a ton of the things i learned that i had no idea about:
- who and what the 12 tribes of Isreal are- the priest you hear in the bible are supposed to come from the line of Aaron(moses brother) who was a levite.
-about the tabernacle, how it was built and what it was used for
-the laws, and the sacrifices (and that when Jesus died on the cross he took the place of the sacrificing of animals and things like that but we still have to sacrifice things in our life, if that makes sense)
-geneologys are important and interesting!
-how much God loves his people even tho they keep messing
-i learned who solomon was..lol and so many others
-what the captivity was and the process in which it happened
the list could go on and on and on. anyways.... ITS' REALLY AWESOME AND YALL SHOULD DO IT!!!! READINGTHEBIBLE365IN2010.WORDPRESS.NET
