I’ve been making this carrot cake recipe for years. A cousin of mine gave it to me many years ago in San Francisco. Until today I have never made cupcakes with it but they came out wonderful and freeze great.

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
3 egg whites
2 cups grated carrot
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together the oil and sugar. Add the egg whites and mix well. Add the carrots, pineapple, cinnamon and vanilla. Mix well.
