Carrot Apple Spice Cakes
We've changed up our favorite Carrot Cake recipe and made it more suitable for breakfast! I love making these in mini muffin cups (you'll get at least four dozen from this recipe) and spreading them with apricot jam, but we love them with Cream Cheese Butttercream and Candied Pecans!

1 1/4 cups Canola Oil

2 cups Sugar
2 cups Flour

1 tsp Cinnamon
1 small piece of candied Ginger

1/4 tsp Orange Zest
2 Tbsps Baking Powder

1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt

4 Eggs
4 large Carrots

1 large Apple
1/2 cup dried Cranberries

1) In a food processor, grind the carrots and apple with the crystallized ginger and set aside.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk together your flour, salt, spices, orange zest, baking powder, cranberries.
3) In a larger bowl, whisk the oil and sugar together for a minute.
4) Whisk one egg into the oil mixture, followed by a third of the flour.
5) Add another egg, and then another third of the flour and continue alternating, mixing just a bit after each addition.
6) Fold in the carrots and apple and mix until just combined.
7) Spoon or pour into cupcake liners or an 8" cake pan and bake at 325 until the center comes out just clean (10-40 minutes, respectively).
