Ingredients
1 box Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake Mix1 cup finely grated raw carrot1 cup canned pumpkin1/2 cup egg liquid egg whites from dairy section of grocery1 cup waterFrosting2 cups confectionery sugar4 ounces light cream cheese1 TB milk1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350
Put cupcake wrappers into 2 12 count cupcake pans. Spray with baking spray.
In bowl of mixer add cake mix, carrots, water and egg whites. Mix on low to combine and then mix for 3 minutes on high. I use an ice cream scoop to put the batter into the pans, works great. Fill each about 2/3 full.
Bake the cupcakes at 350 for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove cupcakes to finish cooling on a rack this will stop the cupcake wrappers from becoming damp on the bottom because of the cooking spray. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

Mix the cream cheese, confectionery sugar, milk and vanilla until nice and smooth. I add a tiny dash of salt to my frosting, it just makes it sweeter.
Frost cooled cupcakes and enjoy.
