Jamie's Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 225 g butter, soft
• 225 g flour, sifted
• 5 g baking powder
• 225 g sugar, extra fine
• 4 large eggs
• 1 lemon(s), zest
• 1 pack of chocolate (Schogetten)
• 100 g powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
• 40 ml water

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

for 18 pieces

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/convection oven. For the batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer until the mixture is very light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, carefully incorporating the last one into the mixture before each egg. Finally, fold in the flour and baking powder mixture and the lemon zest. Line the muffin tins with paper cases and fill with equal amounts of batter. Press the individual chocolate pieces into the batter so they are no longer visible. Place the tins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Do the skewer test. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack. When it comes to decoration, there are no limits to your imagination. I usually cover them with a chocolate glaze. To make this, I mix the icing sugar with the cocoa powder and about 40 ml – 60 ml water until smooth.
