How to make Sacher Muffins
Pour the cream and butter into a pan, place it on the heat and cook until it almost boils, then add the chocolate and mix with a whisk,
Then let the ganache cool at room temperature.
With a whisk in a large bowl, beat the egg with the sugar.
Pour in the milk and oil, gradually incorporate the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Then fill the muffin molds and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 13 minutes.
Once cooled, use a fruit corer to make a hole in the upper center of each muffin.
Fill the hole with apricot jam.
As a final step, decorate the muffins with the chocolate ganache prepared earlier.
With the quantities and doses of each ingredient, you will make about 12 Sacher muffins.
