How to make?
Ingredients
1/3 cup all-purpose flour $0.05
1/2 tsp baking powder $0.04
1/4 tsp salt $0.02
1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
1/4 tsp nutmeg $0.03
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 large egg
1/4 cup brown sugar $0.12
1/4 tsp vanilla extract $0.07
2 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.08
1 medium carrot $0.14
1 oz . cream cheese $0.22
1 Tbsp butter $0.07
1/2 cup powdered sugar $0.13
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until evenly combined. Peel the carrot and use a large holed cheese grater to shred it into a separate bowl. Add the egg yolk, brown sugar, vanilla, and vegetable oil to the shredded carrot. Whisk these ingredients together with a fork until evenly combined. Pour the bowl of dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and stir just until evenly combined. Coat two small ramekins with non-stick spray, then divide the batter between the two. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to make them easier to transport in and out of the oven. Bake the cakes for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While the cakes are baking, place the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl and allow them to come to room temperature. Once room temperature and soft, whisk with a fork until smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar a little at a time until it is all incorporated. Allow the cakes to cool before spreading the cream cheese frosting over top . Enjoy!.
