  • In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots.
  • Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
