Carrot Cake Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup walnuts (chopped)
1 cup coconut (optional)

Preparation

In a mixing bowl beat the oil and sugar; add the eggs, one at a time mixing well.
Add the next 5 ingredients and mix well.
Grate the carrots (I do it in a food processor) and add to the above.
Add walnuts and coconut.
Use cupcake papers that have been lightly sprayed with vegetable spray and fill two-thirds full.
Bake 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from pan and frost when cool.
I like a butter frosting but a cream cheese frosting is great too.
