Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 35-40 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients:
For the batter:
- 5 fresh eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 100 ml of cream
- 100 g of butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- 1 tablespoon of instant cappuccino powder
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 1 cup of flour

For the filling:
- 100 g of cappuccino cream chocolate (or dark chocolate for a more intense flavor)

For the decoration cream:
- 200 g of liquid cream
- 100 g of cappuccino cream chocolate

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, add the 5 eggs and sugar. Use a mixer or whisk to beat them until you achieve a fluffy composition, light yellow in color. This will ensure an airy texture for your cupcakes.

2. Adding wet ingredients: Next, add the cream and melted butter (make sure it is not hot, just warm). Mix well to integrate the ingredients.

3. Dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and cappuccino powder. This step is essential to avoid lumps in the batter. Then, gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet composition using a spatula.

4. Filling the molds: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare the muffin molds, whether using special paper or a silicone pan. Fill each mold with batter, leaving about 1 cm space to the edge. Add a piece of cappuccino cream chocolate on top of each muffin.

5. Baking: Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check if they are done by inserting a toothpick in the middle of one; if it comes out clean, the muffins are perfectly baked.

6. Preparing the cream: While the muffins are baking, prepare the cream. Place the liquid cream in a saucepan and bring it close to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the chocolate broken into small pieces. Mix well until the chocolate completely melts. Chill the cream for at least 4 hours to set.

7. Decorating the muffins: Once the muffins have completely cooled, use a mixer to whip the chocolate cream until it doubles in volume and becomes fluffy. Decorate each muffin with a generous layer of cappuccino cream.

Serving suggestions: Serve the cappuccino muffins alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fragrant tea. You can also add a drizzle of caramel or melted chocolate on top for an even more decadent look and taste.

Variations: You can experiment with different chocolate flavors, such as hazelnut chocolate or white chocolate, to add a personal twist to the recipe. Also, for a healthier version, you can use whole wheat flour and alternative sweeteners.

These cappuccino muffins are a perfect choice for coffee and dessert lovers. Enjoy them in the company of loved ones and turn every bite into an unforgettable experience!
