RECIPE:

Ingredients:

  • For the chocolate muffin
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 113g butter, room temperature (1 Stick)
  • 210g flour (about 2 cups)

  • 60g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 226g butter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F.
  2. For our muffin dough, we start by creaming butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix until creamy and airy for about 5 minutes.
  3. Then add the eggs, one at a time. Cream until everything is well combined, also add vanilla.
  4. Mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  5. Sift the dry ingredients alternately with the milk and fill your dough in the muffin tins. Sprinkle the muffin top with sugar.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes.
  7. Let them cool completely.
  8. Meanwhile, cut the butter into little cubes and put them in a warm place to soften.
  9. In a pot, put the flour, sugar, and raspberries, then slowly add the milk and stir so that there no clumps.
  10. Put the pot on the stove and stir continuously on medium heat for 10 minutes and mash the raspberries. The pudding should have a thick consistency. 
  11. Place your pudding into a bowl and let it cool until it reaches room temperature.
  12. Start beating your soft butter until creamy and then add your pudding, spoon by spoon. If you want, you can also add red food coloring.

Cinnamon Rolls - perfect for fall baking

I've always been using this exact recipe and I can confidently say that my whole family and friends love it! The yeast dough - things to keep in mind The most important thing about a good and fluffy cinnamon roll is, of course, the yeast dough- but how can you ensure it gets fluffy and perfect?
