Simple Chocolate Cupcakes with Cherries

Preheat oven with top and bottom heat to 175°C and prepare muffin liners in a muffin tin.

If using cherries in syrup, strain the cherries through a sieve (let them drain) and reserve the syrup.

Place 115 g of chocolate in a plastic bowl and slowly melt in the microwave (in 15-second intervals, stirring after each) or melt in a bowl over a bain-marie.
