Ingrediants
For 6-8 cupcakes
- 50 g of dark chocolate
- 50 g of sugar
- 50 g of butter
- 120 g (2 medium) of eggs
- 100 g of white flour of type 00
- 5 g of baking powder
- 40 ml of milk
- About 50 g of sour cherries in syrup
Materials Needed
- Cupcake or muffin mold
- Bowls of various sizes
- Electric whips
- Wooden spoon
- Scoop
- Sieve
- Chopping board
- Knife
- Ladle with spout
Preparation
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Mix the chocolate with the butter and melt it in the microwave or in a double boiler.
- Then add the sugar and mix thoroughly: all the chocolate must be melted.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
- Shell the eggs and divide the yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks, adding a pinch of salt to facilitate the whipping.
- At this point, add the sifted flour together with the baking powder, the milk and the two egg yolks: mix until the mixture is soft and velvety. To the mixture, gently add the egg whites, always mixing from bottom to top to avoid letting them go limp.
- Take a part of the dough with a ladle fitted with a spout and fill up to 1/3 each cupcake mold: in this case we used rose-shaped molds. Place a "black cherry in syrup in the center of each cupcake and cover again with more dough, leaving the mold empty for 1/3 of the height: the cupcake must swell during cooking and come out slightly (but not too much!) from the mold.
Did you know that
To avoid spilling the dough from the molds, it is recommended to place the cupcake mold on a wire rack before proceeding with filling.- Bake the cupcakes in a hot oven at 180 ° C for about 15 minutes.
- Remove the treats from the oven and serve with the sour cherry syrup.
