The use of a multicooker for making relatively simple items like muffins may seem like an excessive burden on modern technology. However, for all its simplicity, cupcakes are often not sufficiently fluffy or overdried.
Using the newfangled device, you are almost guaranteed to get a stable result - chocolate cupcakes are lush, light in taste, beautiful and just melt in your mouth.
Chocolate Muffin in Multicooker - General Cooking Principles
• For baking chocolate muffins in a slow cooker, semi-liquid dough is prepared. Such baking can be both sweet and lean. Eggs and fats must be added to the baking room: butter or margarine. Lean knead without eggs, on refined oil.
• Dark color and chocolate flavor add cocoa or melted bitter chocolate to the product. Often, to obtain a richer chocolate flavor, both products are administered at once.
• In order to make the dough evenly fit during baking, it is recommended to whisk well and lay the products in the sequence described in the recipe.
• In a slow cooker, you can make both simple chocolate muffins and more complex ones with fillings from self-made creams or curd with fruit.
• Bake chocolate muffins in a multicooker with the “Baking” mode. The duration of the program depends not only on the recipe, but also on the power of the multicooker. Therefore, at the end of the set time, you should always check the readiness to pierce a thin stick of wood (with a match or toothpick). If the surface of the stick after a puncture is not visually wet - the cake is ready.
