Preparation
Step 1
Take the butter out of the fridge in advance so it becomes soft. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanilla extract. For a richer chocolate flavor, use chocolate with at least 50% cocoa.
Step 2
Mix flour with baking powder and sift it. Sifting adds air, helping muffins rise and become airy. If using vanilla extract, add it to the flour mixture.
Step 3
Brew 100 ml of cocoa with boiling water, stirring until smooth and lump-free.
Step 4
Add the remaining 100 ml water to the cocoa to bring it to room temperature.
Step 5
Using a mixer, beat the soft butter with sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until fluffy.
Step 6
Add eggs one by one to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Step 7
Beat until smooth and uniform.
Step 8
Pour in the prepared cocoa mixture and beat again.
Step 9
Gradually add the sifted flour with baking powder to the mixture.
Step 10
Beat on low speed until you get a thick, uniform batter. Do not overmix.
Step 11
Fill silicone molds with chocolate batter about 1/3 full.
Step 12
Place a piece of chocolate in the center of each mold.
Step 13
Cover with more batter until molds are about 2/3 full.
Step 14
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) for about 30 minutes. Test with a toothpick - if it comes out clean, muffins are done. Adjust baking time to your oven. Cool slightly, remove from molds, and let fully cool. Yields about 15 small muffins.
Step 15
Prepare chocolate glaze.
Step 16
Heat butter with milk until hot, either on the stove or in the microwave.
Step 17
Add chocolate pieces to the hot milk mixture and stir until fully melted.
Step 18
You will get a smooth, glossy chocolate glaze.
Step 19
Dip each muffin in the glaze and leave for 15-20 minutes to set slightly.
Step 20
Optionally, decorate the muffins before serving. I used white chocolate and mint leaves. Enjoy!
