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.
