For 20-24 cupcakes/muffins put 500 grams of the mixture, 250 grams of butter and 5 eggs (approx. 250 grams) in a bowl and mix on low speed for 4 minutes to a smooth batter. Line a muffin pan with paper baking cups and use an ice-cream scoop to half fill the cups with batter. Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for approximately 18 minutes.
