Orange Carrot Cupcakes
There is something about taking a bite out of a carrot cake that sends one down memory lane. This particular cupcake version of the recipe by Mumbai-based pastry chef Pooja Dhingra is gluten-free, vegan, and infused with warm and citrusy flavours.
Carrot cakes are the ultimate go-to comfort baked goods. For many, it is a nostalgic dish that they have grown up eating. While every carrot cake recipe has its own version, this particular gluten-free and vegan one has the warmth of walnuts and coconut, the sweetness of carrots and the tanginess of oranges. What's more, it does not involve baking.
