Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
- 2 Whisk together sugar, applesauce, oil, eggs, and vanilla for cupcakes in a large bowl. Sift in flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix until well combined. Add grated carrots, raisins, shredded coconut, crushed pineapple, and pecans; mix until fully incorporated. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling halfway.
- 3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- 4 Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and butter for frosting with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Mix in vanilla.
- 5 Frost cupcakes when they are completely cool; if they are even slightly warm, the frosting will melt. Decorate as desired.
