Drain the cherries in a colander, set aside about 20 pieces for garnish. Grease the muffin pan and place in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can use the paper cupcake liners. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
Beat the eggs until frothy. Mix with butter or margarine, sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon to make a smooth batter. Fold the almonds, chocolate flakes and cherries into the batter. Fill the hollow of the mold 2/3 full with batter. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes.
Take the form out of the oven, let cool for 5-10 minutes. Lift out the muffins.
Melt the couverture and fat in a water bath. Dip the top half of the muffins in the icing. Place a cherry on each of the muffins. I recommend simple cake icing instead of couverture. Spreads out better on top of the muffins.
