Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Place 8 paper muffin cases into a muffin tray, or line with squares of greaseproof paper.
Step 2
Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl, then rub in the Trex with your fingertips. Stir in the muscovado sugar.
Step 3
In a jug, beat together the egg, vanilla extract and milk. Add to the dry ingredients with the grated carrots and raisins or sultanas and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Step 4
Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and transfer to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 5
Mix together the low fat soft cheese, muscovado sugar and finely grated orange zest, allowing a couple of minutes for the sugar to dissolve. Swirl an equal amount onto each muffin, then decorate with fine shreds of orange zest.
