2. Prepare Almonds: Grind the almonds finely and combine them with the bread crumbs. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the margarine (or butter) and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the wheat flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined.

6. Add Flavorings: Stir in the ground cardamom, followed by the bread crumbs and almonds. Then, add the cream to the mixture and lightly mix. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

7. Fill Muffin Molds: Spoon an equal amount of the batter into each greased muffin mold, leaving room for the mixture to rise. Using a floured fingertip, make a small indentation in the center of each muffin.

8. Add Marmalade: Place about half a teaspoon of raspberry marmalade into the indentation of each muffin.

9. Bake: Place the muffin molds in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Prepare Syrup: While the muffins are baking, boil the water and dissolve the sugar in it. Flavor the syrup with arrack liqueur or rum according to your preference.

11. Moisten Muffins: Once the muffins are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush or drizzle the warm syrup over the tops of the muffins, allowing them to soak up the flavors.

12. Add More Marmalade: While the muffins are still warm, add an additional half teaspoon of raspberry marmalade into the center indentation of each muffin.

13. Cool and Ice: Allow the muffins to cool completely. In a small bowl, combine the icing sugar with water or lemon juice to create a thin glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins, allowing it to set before serving.
