For best results, ensure that the cream cheese and butter are fully softened before making the frosting. This will prevent lumps and create a smoother texture.
Draining the pineapple thoroughly is crucial to prevent soggy cupcakes.
Feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture and flavor.
The cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Frosted cupcakes should be stored in the refrigerator.

    These cupcakes were a huge hit at my son's birthday party! Everyone raved about how moist and flavorful they were. I especially loved the cream cheese frosting – it was the perfect amount of sweetness!

  • Summer Kautzer

    I made these for a bake sale and they were the first to sell out! The combination of carrot and pineapple is genius, and the cupcakes stayed moist for days. Will definitely be making these again!

  • Catherine Mann

    The directions were easy to follow, and the cupcakes were delicious. I added a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for a little extra warmth. Highly recommend!

  • Mohamed Schinner

    I followed the recipe exactly and my cupcakes turned out perfectly! The only thing I changed was adding a little lemon zest to the frosting for a brighter flavor. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!
