Chocolate muffin with raspberries

There are vanilla and ginger chocolate muffins, they are found with and without fillings, with raisins and candied fruits, and muffins are also baked large, like pies, and small, like buns. For our recipe today, we chose chocolate cupcakes in molds filled with their Nutella nut paste and fresh raspberries. First, a little about the etymology of the word "cupcake". It is authentically known that the name of this dessert comes from the old French word "frui" - fruit and the German "kechel", which means pie. In other words, already based on the translation, we can conclude that such a product is nothing more than a fruit pie.

History of the dish

Now, according to the already established tradition, a few words about the history, which in the case of cupcakes goes back to the times of Ancient Rome, when it was customary to mix pomegranate seeds, raisins, nuts and other ingredients to taste in barley puree and give them the shape of a kind of slide. If you look closely, modern cupcakes look about the same. As you can see, cupcakes have been popular since ancient times, but they gained particular relevance in the 16th century, when granulated sugar came from the American colonies to Europe. It was then that fruits began to be sugared, all kinds of jams were made from them, and as a result, it was possible to bake cupcakes not only seasonally, but even all year round.

Time passed, recipes for cupcakes changed and improved, new toppings and special dough recipes appeared, characteristic of a particular country of the manufacturer, but cupcakes never lost their relevance and popularity. This is how muffins, adits, biscuits, etc. appeared. Turning to more modern history, it should be noted that today muffins with or without chocolate filling are baked from yeast or biscuit dough, and nuts, various dried fruits, berries and jams are the most common additives. As for the shape, it can also, in fact, be anything from a large round cupcake with a hole inside to small cupcakes that are just the size of a cup of aromatic coffee or tea. If you are planning to bake cupcakes, in our case, chocolate, then for this business there are several important rules that should not be ignored when starting baking:

1. First of all, keep in mind that if you are baking a chocolate cake, the recipe cannot be followed blindly and relentlessly. The thing is that this pastry is too delicate and every extra gram of flour will certainly not affect the taste of the product in the best way. Remember that all flour is different and its quality depends on the type of grain from which it is made. There are flours with better astringent properties, and there are flours that require more water and eggs. Always keep an eye on the density of the dough. If you overdo it with flour, the dough will turn out clogged, and if you use eggs, the muffins will fall apart. The correct consistency of the dough for cupcakes corresponds to the density of not too fatty sour cream;
2. Cupcakes must be baked at an average temperature of 160-180 degrees with an even baking mode. The main problem with cupcakes is that they are often not baked due to their thickness and size. By the way, this explains why the large cupcake mold has such a strange configuration with a hole inside - it solves the problem. If you bake cupcakes in the form of small biscuits, you should not forget about this problem either. When baking, cupcakes, according to tradition, are baked until a sufficiently hard crust appears on the surface - this in 99% of cases indicates their readiness;
3. In the modern world, there are a lot of ways to make cupcakes, including chocolate ones. We are all used to baking in a traditional oven, but today there are recipes that give recommendations on how to cook, for example, a chocolate muffin in the microwave or a chocolate muffin in a slow cooker. For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that the recipe itself differs not too much, the main difference is in the mode and time of preparing the dessert.
4. If you cook anything, including chocolate muffins with a liquid filling, put it in moderation, otherwise the muffins will simply fall apart when you take them out of the mold.

The benefits of cupcakes

Now, after getting acquainted with the rules of cooking, it's time to say a few words about the benefits of the dish. Let it not surprise you that this recipe also has such a subsection. Imagine that there are also benefits in dough desserts, and you will see for yourself now. The thing is that the dough is made from products that are very useful and necessary for the body: eggs, flour, sugar. It is in them that the benefit lies. Today we are preparing a chocolate cake and, in accordance with the photo, it is clear that we use biscuit dough for it, but with the addition of butter. So let's talk specifically about the benefits of these particular products:

• Why is flour useful? First of all, wheat flour is an excellent source of vitality and strength. Moreover, regular consumption of wheat flour will strengthen the immune system and ensure constant normal blood circulation in the body. Wheat flour also helps blood clotting and promotes brain function. Flour has such an exceptionally healing effect on the body due to the presence of B vitamins in it, as well as valuable trace elements manganese and copper.
• Why are eggs useful? Eggs help to strengthen vision, help to lose weight, and also protect against the occurrence of cancer and heart disease. And eggs have a great effect on the condition of teeth and bones. And it's all about the unique chemical composition of this product. After all, eggs contain 12 vitamins and an almost complete set of trace elements - you must agree, a serious bid for victory.
• Why is sugar useful? I must admit that the granulated sugar used by us in this recipe undoubtedly belongs to the so-called "bad" sugars. But even despite this sweet can instantly improve mood and give us the necessary energy, though not for long, but very quickly. So if you do not abuse products with sugar, then it can be very helpful, especially if you need to urgently restore strength.
• Why is butter useful? Butter contains a lot of vitamin A, and it is the key to healthy hair, skin and the human endocrine system. In addition to the already mentioned vitamin, butter also boasts the presence of vitamins K, E and D. In addition, butter is enriched with selenium, which, as a powerful antioxidant, can fight cancer. It is also extremely beneficial for the stomach, especially for those who have a problem with peptic ulcer or other mucosal diseases. However, animal fats are just the case when you should never forget about the measure.

That's all the wisdom - as you can see, nothing complicated.
