Mini Chocolate Cherry Cake Muffins with Lychee Tea infused Chocolate Ganache

I asked Hubs "what should I call these devilish little darlings". I couldn't decide whether they were cupcakes or mini muffins, so I settled with Mini Cake Muffins. They are very moist and rich inside yet they hold their structure well without the use of cupcake liners. The added cherry pieces that I folded into the batter at the very last minute are a match made in heaven with the deep bittersweet chocolate. I wanted an additional yet subtle flavour through these little cakes so I decided to infuse the chocolate ganache frosting with about 1-2 teaspoonfuls of Lychee Tea. That was just enough to give a hint of Lychee.

These little treats are indeed quite decadent but one or two I think is allowed in anyone's day...

  1. Wow, all of the desserts on your blog look absolutely incredible. My husband is an amazing cook and I am not, but I've always wanted to get into baking, maybe one day I'll be able to create something like that:)
