enough for 12 pieces

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat: 160°C). Grease and flour a muffin tin or line it with paper baking cups. Mix the flour and baking powder and sift into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients – except for the cocoa powder – and mix everything with a hand mixer (whisk) briefly on the lowest setting, then on the highest setting for 2 minutes until you have a smooth batter. Halve the batter. Stir the cocoa powder into one half of the batter. First, add 1 tablespoon of the light batter to the center of each hole. Immediately add 1 tablespoon of the dark batter to each hole. In this way, fill the muffins alternately, directly on top of each other. Place the tin on the wire rack in the lower third of the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. After baking, let the muffins stand in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove them from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack. For the icing, sift the powdered sugar and mix it with rum or orange juice to form a thin icing. Finally, spread it over the muffins.
