Orange and Carrot Cupcakes
35 minutes
What a favourite of my son's! He seems to know when these are in the oven, and won't leave me alone until they're done, out of the oven and cool enough for him to have one. Personally I prefer them with a little cream cheese frosting on top, but he likes them plain.
