Best Carrot Cupcakes EVER!!!

Looking for a light in flavor and texture carrot cake?  Well look no more! Squirt has been requesting carrot cupcakes for weeks and I FINALLY gave in to whip up a batch for her.  I was not in the mood to use the long and involved recipe I had on file so Tastespotting here I come and I found a MUCH simpler recipe to try.  How can you go wrong with a recipe called Mama's Carrot Cake ?!?!?
 
I ended up with about 24 unfrosted cupcakes ~ hard to keep count when little ones keep sneaking away warm cupcakes ;)  They were so light and delicious that the girls proclaimed this recipe a KEEPER!  I am thinking that these are great for Easter  as well :)
