For the vegan cream cheese frosting
Make the carrot cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
Add the sugar, vegetable oil, nondairy milk, vinegar, carrots, ginger, walnuts and raisins and mix until everything is just incorporated.
Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with liners. Divide the batter equally among them.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
Cool thoroughly on a rack before frosting.
Make the vegan cream cheese frosting
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and confectioner's sugar until smooth and creamy.
Frost the cakes. You can sprinkle on some chopped walnuts over the frosting or serve just as.
