Production

Lightly grease the baking tin with a little butter or oil.

Melt the butter over a bain-marie or in the microwave until it is nice and liquid and then leave it for a short time to cool down.

Whisk the egg yolks together with a pinch of salt until nice and frothy. This is best done with a hand mixer. Now stir the cooled liquid butter and the mocha paste into the egg yolk mixture.

Now beat the egg whites with the sugar in a separate bowl until stiff. As soon as the mixture is glossy and firm, fold it into the egg yolk mixture using a rubber scraper.

Then fold in the flour, the ground hazelnuts and the baked solid chocolate drops. Put the mixture into a piping bag and fill each ring cake in the tin with about 10 g of the cake mixture. Place them in a preheated oven at 170 ºC for approx. 10 minutes.

After baking, leave the small Gugelhupfe to cool for about 15 minutes and then remove from the tin. If they are still very warm, let them cool for another 10 minutes. For the beautiful decoration, simply melt some cake glaze over a bain-marie, place the mini Gugelhupfe on a truffle rack and cover completely with the liquid glaze. You can either sprinkle the icing directly with crispy pearls, mocha beans and other decorations or let the icing set and make a pattern with white cake icing and then sprinkle with decorations.

Storage & Shelf Life

Of course, such a Gugelhupf tastes best fresh. However, it can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It simply gets drier and drier over time and loses its juiciness. You can freeze the little cakes for up to 3 months.
