Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with cases.

Beat sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth, then stir in grated carrots and optional nuts or fruit.

Mix flour, baking powder, spices, and cocoa in a separate bowl and combine with the wet mixture.

Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 25 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

Whisk softened butter and cream cheese together until light and smooth.

Stir in icing sugar then whisk briefly until light before frosting the cold cupcakes.
