These soft and airy muffins are filled with orange and lemon rinds and topped with candied cherries. The combination of cherry, citrus, and cinnamon flavors will captivate everyone. As soon as you remove the muffins from the oven, brush them with melted butter and dust with powdered sugar. This will add a creamy touch.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 12-cup metal muffin pan with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. In a larger bowl, combine the eggs, milk, 165g of melted butter, almond paste, and vanilla extract (it's okay if there are some almond paste chunks left). Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in the candied citrus peel.

Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters full. Arrange the candied cherries evenly on top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter in the microwave. Brush the muffins with butter while still hot, then dust with powdered sugar. Let cool completely.
