Key lime pie is one of my all time favorite desserts.

Brown Butter Carrot Cake Cupcakes
At this point I have mentioned brown butter enough that my thoughts on it are obvious 🙂 It makes so many baked goods tastier though, so of course it has to go into these carrot cake cupcakes too. This is a fairly straight forward carrot cake recipe based roughly on one from Brave Tart. TheContinue reading “Brown Butter Carrot Cake Cupcakes”
