Stir in oil and add a drop or two of food colouring to tint orange. Dip strawberries into chocolate to coat, keeping green tops clean. Arrange on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, line holes of a 12-hole 1/3 cup capacity muffin tray with paper cases, or arrange 12 free standing paper cases on an oven tray.

3. Preheat oven to 180C. Put carrot, butter and yogurt into the bowl of a food processor or blender and process until pureed. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in eggs and EQUAL. Sift in flour, cocoa and baking powder and stir to combine, then stir in chocolate bits. Spoon evenly into prepared holes.

4. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until firm to touch. Cool cakes in tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. To make frosting, put cream cheese, cocoa and EQUAL into a medium bowl and mix until well combined and smooth. Spoon or pipe a dollop of frosting on top of each cooled cake. Dust with extra cocoa and decorate with strawberry carrots.
