Recipes

Best served with:

Easy Whipped Cream

Directions:

1. Flour-Cocoa Mixture:

1.1. Add to a medium mixing bowl:

1 ¾ cups of flour
1 cup of cocoa powder
2 TSP of baking powder
1 TSP of baking soda
½ TSP of salt

Shortly stir together using a whisk until nicely combined (about 1 minute).

1.2.

Put aside for a later step.

2. The Batter – Part 1:

2.1. Place into the kitchen mixer with flat beater attachment:

1 stick of soft butter
1 ¼ cups of granulated sugar
3 large eggs

Process on high speed until fully incorporated and a creamy texture is reached (about 2 – 4 minutes).

2.2. Add:

1 ½ cups of sour cream
1 TBSP of Vanilla Extract

Process on high speed until nicely combined (about 1 – 2 minutes).

3. The Batter – Part 2:

3.1. Add:

Mixture from step 1

Process on a slow speed until all ingredients partially combined. Then, increase the speed to medium-high and process until nicely combined (about 2 minutes).

3.2. Add:

2 cups of chocolate chips

Process on medium speed until combined (about 1 – 2 minutes).

4. Assemble & bake:

4.1.

Set oven to 400°F.

4.2.

Fill muffin liners (in a muffin pan) using 4 oz disher (1 scoop is amount for one muffin) or set of spoons.

4.3.

Sprinkle with granulated sugar (this will create a light caramelization) and white chocolate chips.

4.4. Bake in a preheated oven for about 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F, and bake until fully done (about 16 minutes).

Note:
Since the muffins include a lot of chocolate, be aware of this extra chocolate’s effect while testing. It could happen that you will hit melted chocolate chips instead of batter. Therefore, test in multiple muffins and multiple locations before you make a final call. You may also consider breaking one in half when you will believe that it is fully baked.

4.6.

Let it partially cool before serving.

5. Serving:

5.1.

Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.

5.2.

Optionally serve with whipped cream.

If parts of the ingredients stick on the side of the kitchen mixer during processing, stop the mixer and use a spatula to mix it back in. Then, continue processing.
