Heartwarming Ras al Hanout Carrot Cupcakes

I received a beautiful book in the mail called Casablanca: My Moroccan Food. It’s a beautiful book all about Moroccan food. It’s filled with tagines, delicious pastries, traditional Moroccan food and more contemporary adaptations. She has a recipe for ras al hanout carrot cupcakes which I could not stop thinking about! I decided to use her idea and put it in my favorite carrot cake recipe. These are so deliciously fluffy and the warm spices add such a delicious savory element to them.

Pair it with the classic cream cheese frosting and you have a glorious cupcake that is perfect for fall. The best part about this recipe is each of the components can be made separately, kept in the fridge or freezer and then assembled right before serving.
