Recipe For Yellow Cupcakes

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups canola oil
2 1/2 cups grated carrots
Frosting
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick salted butter, room temperature
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
yellow sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add eggs and vegetable oil. Using a hand mixer, blend until combined. Fold in carrots.
Pour into cupcake liners in your muffin pan.  Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan, place on wire rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.

Prepare frosting by blending all frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.  Spread generous amount on each cupcake and top with yellow sprinkles.
