Chocolate Chocolate Muffins
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably "special dark")
½ tablespoon espresso powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coarse sparkling sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 and line a muffin pan with 12 liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt and baking soda. Add the eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, oil and vanilla and whisk vigorously until well combined; batter will be very thick. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter between the liners and sprinkle the top of the batter with the sparkling sugar. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer muffins to a wire rack, cool for 5 minutes and serve warm with lemon curd or your favorite jam.
Yields 12 muffins.
