The amount of dough is exactly enough for 26 muffins (if you don`t nibble on the dough).
Preparation:
First let the coffee run through 4 measuring spoons of coffee powder and 1/4 l of water. Let cool down well!
Rub the peel of the orange and set aside the zest. Squeeze the orange. In a small measuring cup, fill 120 ml of the cold coffee with the squeezed juice of the orange to 125 ml and add 1 tablespoon rum.
Chocolate: Chateau Kaffee Sahne - white chocolate on premium coffee cream chocolate.
Cut each individual piece of chocolate into 3 pieces with a knife.
In a bowl, mix the flour with mondamine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 50 g of cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a hint of cardamom (it should really only be a hint, nothing more).
In a mixing bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and 2 pinches of salt with the mixer until frothy. Add the grumpy candy and the orange zest. Mix in the 4 eggs one after the other until you have a creamy, fluffy mixture.
Now slowly stir in the flour mixture alternately with the cooled coffee mixture until the dough has a smooth consistency.
Pour the batter into muffin molds and press 3 - 4 of the crushed chocolate chips into each muffin. Bake the muffins on the middle rack in the preheated oven at 180 ° C for about 30 minutes.
Let the muffins cool and dust with powdered sugar.
Tip:
The total amount of sugar may seem high at first; if you take less, the muffins will lack sweetness because the aroma of the strong coffee takes away the sweetness of the dough. The grumpy candy has a slightly caramel note and provides a fine crunch.
These muffins keep fresh for a good 2 days and the aromas of coffee, orange juice, rum, cinnamon and cardamom only develop really well the next day.
