the German classic with a twist, for about 12 cupcakes

Makes 12 cupcakes. Drain the sour cherries in a sieve. Set aside a handful for decoration. Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Mix together the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and sour cream. Add the chocolate-butter mixture. Finally, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt into the batter. Line a muffin tin with paper cases and fill with a tablespoon of batter. Place one or two cherries in each case and press in. Spoon another spoonful of batter on top. Bake the cupcakes at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20-25 minutes. For the topping, whip the cream with the cream stiffener until stiff. Use a piping bag to pipe the cream onto the cooled cupcakes. Decorate them with another cherry and chocolate sprinkles.
