Bright citrus flavours, a crisp shell and fluffy middle make for a marvellous winter teatime treat

Give me a muffin over a cupcake any day. They’re less faffy to make, don’t need much when it comes to decorations, and I’m a big fan of the way the domed tops spill over the cases, giving a crisp shell that contrasts with the fluffy insides. Orange and cardamom feel bright and fresh, so are ideal for cold, grey afternoons.
