Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, plus 3 Tbsp
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups orange marmalade (prefer Smucker's natural)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 1/2 tsp
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from 1 to 2 oranges)
2 teaspoons triple sec
1/2 cup dried currants

1
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray twelve-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Combine 3 tablespoons light brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest in a small bowl. Using fingers, mix until combined and fragrant. Set aside.
3
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently fold using a rubber spatula until just combined. The batter will be lumpy- don't overmix! Gently fold in dried currants.
4
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each to just below the top. You may have a bit of leftover batter. Sprinkle with the topping from step 1 and bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in muffin tin on wire rack for 5 minutes and then transfer muffins to rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm. Enjoy!
