In an hour you have the snack dreamed of by any child who is craving something sweet between homework and The Paw Patrol. These chocolate muffins, cousins of cupcakes, are the temptation that adults and children deserve and best of all, they have no mystery.
Although they have a touch of cognac, this will evaporate during cooking, so it should not worry us, but if you want to avoid it, you can do without it without problems, so so have no regrets.
The key, as in so many recipes with few ingredientsIt is the quality of the raw material, especially the butter, the chocolate and the eggs, which must be very fresh for this dough.
Also, if you are lucky enough to have a stand mixer or a food processor with a kneading function, it will make your task much easier, so don’t hesitate to use technology to save some time and effort.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and in a bowl mix the sugar with the butter cut into small cubes and at room temperature, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Then gradually add the beaten eggs until get to mix them also in a homogeneous way and add the splash of cognac. Then we add little by little the flour with the sifted yeast while we work with the spatula, incorporating everything well.
Add the 30 grams of cocoa powder and mix them well so that the dough is perfect. Finally, we put the paper capsules in a muffin tray, and fill them up to 3/4 because they will rise a little later.
Bake at 180ºC for 18 minutes and when they are ready, remove from the oven and Let it cold down a little before eating.
