Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup finely shredded carrot, lightly packed
2 tbsp finely chopped walnuts
3 tbsp cream cheese, room temperature
1 tbsp butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4-1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
Mix together flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda or baking powder.
(Baking soda makes a darker cake while baking powder makes a lighter, more carrot-flavored one). Set aside.
Beat egg in a medium bowl. Beat in oil, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in carrots and walnuts. Pour into muffin pan, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake about 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack then frost.
For frosting: Combine cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a small bowl. With a mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add 3/4 cup powdered sugar, beating until light and easy to spread. Add additional powdered sugar in small amounts for more body.
