Equipment
Instruction
Prepare ingredients
Prepare the ingredients in the kitchen.
Preparations
Preheat the oven at 175°C top and bottom heat for at least 15 minutes.
Place the paper cups in the muffin tray.
Prepare dough
Stir the butter at room temperature for a good minute until smooth, then gradually add the sugar.
Add eggs
Then add the beaten eggs one by one to the dough and stir in.
Stir dough
Stir the dough for another minute.
Add flour
Add the freshly sifted flour and baking powder to the dough.
Stir flour
Incorporate the flour evenly.
Finalize dough
Work the dough evenly. The dough should fall “tearing” back into the bowl when you lift it out.
If the dough is too soft, add some flour.
If the dough is too firm, add some cream.
If the dough falls from the whisks that are turned off, the consistency will fit well.
Fill dough
Pour the light-coloured marble cake batter into the prepared paper muffin tins spoon by spoon.
Add Cacao
Mix the remaining light-coloured dough with cocoa, cream and rum and finish the dark cake mixture.
Stir cocoa
Spread the sides of the bowl with a pastry spatula and stir again before filling.
Do not forget to nibble the dough!
Add dough
Add the dark batter to the light batter in the muffin cups.
You can do this quite well with a wet spoon.
Create spiral
Mix the dark dough with the light dough in a spiral.
This creates the typical marble cake pattern.
Then bake for 35-40 minutes on the middle shelf on the oven rack.
Bake
Prick the cake with a wooden skewer and check if the cake is ready baked.
Test cake
If no more dough sticks to the spit, the cake is ready baked.
Remove papers
Remove the small cakes from the muffin tin and let them cool down.
Prepare white cream as topping
Cut chocolate
Finely cut the white couverture with a knife.
Melt chocolate
Melt 2/3 of the white and cut couverture at 45°C in a porcelain bowl in a hot water bath.
Stir chocolate
Take the bain-marie out of the pot and stir in the remaining chocolate.
Add Ingredients
Let the melted chocolate temper.
Follow the tips in the article on the lip-warm test.
Then add cream cheese and créme fraîche to the chocolate.
Mix
Mix the white cream quickly and chill.
Serve
Before serving, decorate the small cakes with the cream and sprinkle with confectionery or chocolate.
Quickly serve with coffee or tea and enjoy together!

4. Baking Time Marble Cake Muffins
Let’s deal briefly with the baking time of the small cakes and the right oven level:
I have tried hot air as well as top and bottom heat and the traditional baking method is best here.
Mini marble cakes should be baked at 170°C with top and bottom heat. Place the tray in the middle of the oven on a grid. The result is a juicy, fine marble cake muffin. Please preheat the oven for 15 minutes – the baking time is approx. 30-35 minutes!

5. When is the Marble Cake Muffins ready baked?
Stick to the shortest indication of baking time. Put the baking tray with the ramekins in the oven and set the kitchen alarm clock. Keep the oven door closed until the bell rings.
So, the kitchen alarm clock has rung, now please take a thin, dry wooden skewer and stick it into a mini cake. Pull out the wooden skewer quickly and see if there is still cake dough on the wood. Still liquid? The baking time has fallen far short of or your oven is not heating properly. Some dough crumbs on the skewer? Then let the cakes bake for another 5 minutes.
Only when the wooden skewer comes out of the cake spick and span, your cake is finished! I have added another vivid picture.
Wooden skewer method for testing the cake ready baked creates safety!

6. Prepare Marble Cake Muffins Topping
Your pastry is in the oven? Then you can now dare to get to the topping. First cut the chocolate very finely and melt 2/3 of the chocolate in a bain-marie. See the step by step pictures below!
Then remove the chocolate from the pot in the bowl and stir in the rest of the chocolate. When the chocolate is at a lip-warm temperature, you can stir in the crème fraiche and the cream cheese and quickly chill the chocolate cream.
Lip warm means that if you put some chocolate on your lips and it doesn’t feel warm anymore, the chocolate is tempered lips-warm. Careful! Tasting hot chocolate leads to burns!
Lip-warm tip from chef Thomas Sixt
I could not resist and had to decorate the muffins with cream. These actually became “marble cake cupcakes”, sorry!
