Muffins filled with jam

Such a marmalade Easter muffin will also delight carol lovers. Just take a bite.

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups plain flour
• less than 1 cup of sugar
• 1 vanilla sugar
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa
• 1.25 – 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1.25 – 1.5 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1.5 – 1.75 cups of buttermilk (+ about 1 tablespoon for the cocoa dough)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 100 g dark chocolate cut into pieces
• marmalade to taste

Method

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• In a bowl, mix the flour, a cup of sugar, baking powder and baking soda and salt.
• In the second, buttermilk, eggs and butter (all at room temperature, otherwise the butter will start to solidify and form lumps – in this case, I recommend heating the mixture for a while, e.g. over steam) and finally add vanilla sugar. Gradually add the loose mixture.
• If the dough is too stiff, you can add a little buttermilk, but it should be a bit thicker in consistency.
• Divide the dough in half and add cocoa to one part. The mixture may still thicken, so add a spoonful of buttermilk (or milk).
• In the prepared form lined with paper cups, put a spoonful of cocoa dough at the bottom, about a teaspoon of marmalade on top and cover it with a spoonful of vanilla dough, which we then sprinkle with pieces of chocolate and bake for 20-25 minutes.
• I put the light up mainly for aesthetic reasons, that chocolate stands out better on a light surface than on a cocoa surface.
