Baking Instructions Black Forest Muffins

Make Base Cake for Muffins
– Pre-heat oven 180 C / 360 F.
– Place paper forms into a muffin tray.
– Using double boiler method melt butter together with chopped chocolate.
– Set aside and let cool off a bit.

– Add sugar to the chocolate cream, beat until bubbly, then add eggs one after the other.
– Combine flour with salt, baking powder and cocoa.
– Sieve to the chocolate cream, add milk, mix with a spatula.

– Pour dough into muffin forms and bake for 20 min.
– Let them cool off.
– With a apple core remover (for example) or a teaspoon cut a wedge out of the muffin’s middle. Here you will add the cherry filling, so it should be big enough.

Make the Cherry Filling

– Mix about 150ml juice from the canned cherries with 2 tbsp starch, mix well until smooth.
– Place the cherries into a pan with some juice, bring to a boil, then add the juice with starch. Mix well until it has thickened. Add the Kirschwasser if you use it.
– Fill the cherries into the muffins.
– Combine heavy cream with vanilla sugar and the whip it. Beat until firm.
– Fill into a frosting bag with star nozzle and squirt on each muffin around the top.
– Sprinkle with grated chocolate and add one cherry on top.

The remaining muffin dough can be used in a dessert:
– Use a dessert glass and make layers with crumbled dough, then cherries followed by whipped cream or if you like vanilla pudding.
