Beat 2 of the eggs with 50 g (approximately 1/4 cup) of powdered sugar and the cappuccino powder until light and fluffy.

Stir 100 g (approximately 1 cup) of flour, the baking powder and baking soda into the egg mixture, then stir in the chocolate-butter mixture. Mix until smooth. 

4.

Beat the cream cheese, orange zest and orange juice until smooth. Add the remaining egg, flour and powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

Evenly divide half of the chocolate mixture into the muffin tin and top with half of the sour cherries. Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into each well, top with the remaining chocolate mixture and sour cherries. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, remove from the muffin tin and cool completely on a wire rack.
