Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 180c and line a cupcake tray with paper cases.

  • Step 2

    In your Ninja Kitchen food processor, pop in your grating attachment to grate the carrot. Add in the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse to fully combine.

  • Step 3

    Fold through the wet ingredients and divide the mixture between your cupcake cases.

  • Step 4

    Pop these into the oven for around 27-30 minutes to bake. Once your cakes are beautifully risen and fluffy, pop these into a wire wrack to cool.

  • Step 5

    For the cinnamon frosting, use and electric whisk to beat the butter until pale and fluffy. Gradually incorporate the icing sugar whilst mixing, then add the cinnamon.

  • Step 6

    Pipe the frosting onto each of the cupcakes and finish with a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.
