Could you substitute Agave nectar or Stevia for the sugar? What would be the substiture ratios?
-
turbinado?
-
What is the type of sugar used in this recipe? I don't recognize it. Can't wait to make these! It might be a nice Sunday treat today!
-
That's for sure! I will try jack fruit as well. It seems it blends well to cupcake that can add more moist and aroma.
-
Is the Canola (rapeseed oil) a healthy idea?

i want to make these, but are there any substitute for the apple sauce? a loved one has an allergy. banana perhaps? (although i dont see that going as well with the carrot)

Pumpkin, banana, mango, squash and many other purees would all probably work. The crushed pineapple and canola oil all add moisture and binding, too, so you should be safe. If you try it, let us know how it turns out, we may feature it as an alternative on our website.

I reallly don't want to sound dumb, but what is the difference between shortening and butter?
MrsMaggie 4 years ago
That's not dumb at all. I had to look it up. Essentially it's the hydrogenation process to combine the vegetable oil that makes the difference, apparently. Shortening has a higher melting point, and allows baked goods to retain their shape at higher temperatures. In this recipe, shortening keeps the frosting firmer and stops it melting at room temperature. Thanks for your comment!

I might try these, but could I substitute the shredded carrot with zucchini to make zucchini bread? I don't care for carrot cake. (Although the frosting looks good.)

Zucchini Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting sounds good to me! If you try that recipe and it works well, we'll add it as an option on our website.
