Sacher Muffin Steps
To prepare these delicious treats, break the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar, oil, and milk. Mix everything with a hand whisk (alternatively, you can use a mixer) until smooth and homogeneous.
Add the baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and flour, previously sifted, and continue mixing to combine everything.
Take a 12-cup muffin tin, place the paper baking cups, and fill them with 3/4 of the batter. Alternatively, if you don’t have the tin, you can use aluminum cups.
Bake in a static oven at 356°F for about 20 minutes, or in a convection oven at 338°F for the same time. To ensure they’re cooked, try the toothpick test by inserting it into the center of a muffin; it should come out dry. If necessary, extend the cooking by another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on a rack. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie.
With the help of a corer or a knife, create a hole in the center of each muffin, saving the removed part. Fill the cavity with a little apricot jam, then close it with the piece of muffin set aside. Finally, cover the surface with the melted dark chocolate.
And there you have your delicious sacher muffins, perfect for enjoying at breakfast or as a decadent snack.
