Ingredients: 1 cup grated carrots. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1 large egg. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1/4 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup chopped pecans optional. 4 oz cream cheese, softened. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup powdered sugar. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Pinch of salt.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Grated carrots, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and cinnamon should all be combined in a mixing bowl. Beat the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil in a different bowl. Mix thoroughly after adding the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. If desired, fold in the chopped pecans. Line each cavity of a donut hole pan or tiny muffin tin with grease, then pour in the carrot cake mixture. When a toothpick inserted into a donut hole comes out clean, bake for 10 to 12 minutes. After a few minutes of cooling in the pan, move the donut holes to a wire rack to finish cooling. Prepare the cream cheese buttercream filling while the donut holes are cooling. Beat softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth and creamy. After the donut holes cool completely, fill them with the cream cheese buttercream filling using a piping bag. Enjoy your baked carrot cake donut holes with cream cheese buttercream after they've been served!
