For the cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 180°C // 355°F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, using a wire whisk or an electric hand mixer.
Whisk until slightly pale.
Add shredded carrots, chopped walnuts and mix well until combined.
In the same mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and mix well until combined.
Add raisins and toss in the batter until evenly combined.
Pour batter into paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-24 minutes.
Do a toothpick test; if the toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean they are ready.
Let them cool slightly in muffin tray for few minutes.
Then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
For the whipped ricotta lemon frosting:
Using an electric mixer whip together ricotta and yogurt on medium speed until lightly smooth and fluffy.
Add the honey and grated lemon zest and fold together well.
Frost the cupcakes once cool.
