Serving

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese , softened in the microwave on low for 40 seconds
1/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp orange extract
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tbsp grated orange zest
1 3/4 cups grated carrots
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

Position oven rack in the middle position; preheat oven to 350°; coat the cups and top surface of a 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable spray.
Filling: place cream cheese in a small bowl; add sugar, and mash with a dinner fork until well blended.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer 10 minutes to chill.
Muffins: sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Cream the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
With the mixer running, add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Add orange extract, orange juice, and orange zest.
Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well.
Fold in carrots, raisins, and walnuts.
Place 2 T batter in each muffin cup.
Tap gently to distribute batter evenly in each cup.
Add a generous tablespoon of filling to each cup.
Add remaining batter until each cup is full.
Spread and smooth batter with the back of a spoon until filling is completely covered.
Tap muffin pan again gently.
Bake 20-22 mintues, or until a pick comes out clean.
Cool on a rack at least 20 minutes.
Use the tip of a knife and your fingers to remove muffins from pan (don't tip the pan and dump muffins out).
Store cooled muffins loosely wrapped in wax paper in a plastic container in the refrigerator.
Warm to room temperature before serving.
