Chocolate Ganache Muffin with Chocolate Ganache: Double chocolate double delicious!

Chocolate and chocolate, well, I never have enough chocolate in my life ^ ^. This time, for the best morning, why don't we serve something warm and indulgence, like this chocolate muffin with the ganache.
Even the look seen like you need to do a lot of work to create this muffin, the truth is it's very easy to prepare.
The ganache that use for the muffin can be prepared ahead and while baking the muffin, you just make another batch of the ganahe. The power of the muffin and the ganache depend on the type of the chocolate that you use. This time, I use only 55% cocoa mass type, which make the muffin a bit light (well, accept the truth, not everyone love deep dark chocolate >*<), but you can use 70% type if you like. I find the muffin is soft and this is a bit like cupcake than muffin (you can see from how it's prepared, the method is the same as butter cake). If eating the muffin alone, the taste will be like a light chocolate cake but when you have a ganache on top, the taste is more intense and very very good. Serve this muffin while still warm and the ganche still gooey (and a bit sticky haha), and your morning will be one of the best morning of the year!
