Moist Carrot Cupcake

I decided to bake something easy and light last Sunday, and this recipe came to my mind. I've tried this recipe a couple of times and every time the result is very satisfying. I think it's a healthier choice of cake since carrot was added in.

Here goes the recipe: (recipe adapted from Kuali)

175g grated carrot
100g currants
100g chopped walnuts
175g butter
150g castor sugar
1tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp cinnamon powder

Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla essence. Fold in shifted flour and cinnamon powder. Stir in carrot, currants and chopped walnuts. Spoon mixture into cups. Bake in preheated oven at 170'C for 35 minutes.
