In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk all dry ingredients together. Add oil and eggs, beating on low speed. Stir in carrots, nuts, and raisins.

Set on baking rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
These muffins will keep, covered for several days.
For Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until just blended. Add powdered sugar, one-third at a time, until just smooth and frosting has reached desired consistency. (Optional: `stir in lemon or orange zest for additional flavoring.)
This frosting will keep refrigerated for about 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months. Soften and stir until smooth before using.
Tips
This recipe is made for 12 standard size muffins, however you can also use jumbo muffins tins, or mini muffin tins - just adjust the baking times as follows: Jumbo - bake for 22-25 minutes Standard - bake for 15-18 minutes Mini - bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Have all ingredients at room temperature, 68-70 degrees F.
Tips for Cream Cheese Frosting: Don’t overbeat the cream cheese. Cold (not softened) cream cheese produces the best texture of frosting.
