I would definitely make these cupcakes again. They were a great way to use up some oranges.

The cupcakes were a bit dry. I think I would add more milk or yogurt next time.

I thought the orange flavor was a bit overpowering. I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

These cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good.

I used a different type of orange juice and the cupcakes still turned out great. The cardamom flavor really shines through.

I'm not usually a fan of cupcakes, but these were delicious! The orange and cardamom flavors were a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla.

These cupcakes were a hit at my party! They were moist, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The orange and cardamom flavors complemented each other perfectly.
