Cooking Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
-
Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, allspice, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large mixing bowl.
-
Mix brown sugar, sour cream, white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth; add to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in carrots, then fold in pecans. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
-
To make the frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar, a bit a time, until smooth and desired sweetness is achieved. Spread onto cooled cupcakes.
