Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
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.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the cream cheese frosting.
