rainy days and cupcakes

Another rainy day in Cornwall calls off another photo shoot but makes way for some tasty treats and a good ol' girlie goss'. Today Katie and I made carrot cupcakes and I thought I would share this tasty recipe with all of you!

Carrot Cupcakes
4oz SR flour
4oz sugar
4oz butter
2oz raisins
2 eggs
several carrots
sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon

Rub together the flour, sugar and butter to resemble breadcrumbs
Add in the spices, carrots and raisins (have a taste, it is super yummy)
Mix in the eggs
Pour mixture into cupcake cases (or a greased baking tray for a cake)
Bake for 15-20 minutes (before taking out - stick a fork into the middle of the cake and check it comes out clean)

Carrot cake topping
A large scope of cream cheese and double (or triple) the icing sugar!
Mix well until it is all glossy and thick - you can add more icing sugar to thicken
You can decorate with some grated carrot or just leave simple :)
