Sinful muffins with a double dose of chocolate decadence.
 

125g plain chocolate (with at least 70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces

75g butter, diced

3 eggs

60g icing sugar, sifted

2 tbsp ground almonds

1 tbsp plain flour, sifted

Preheat the oven to 240°C / 475°F / Gas mark 9.

Line a muffin tray with eight paper muffin cases.

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring all the while.

Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the butter until melted through.

Break the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them until thick and foamy.

Stir in the sifted sugar, ground almonds and flour.

Fold in the melted chocolate mixture.

Pour the mixture into the paper muffin cases and push a square of dark chocolate into the centre of each muffin then bake for 8 minutes or until well risen and firm to the touch.

Lift the muffins out of the tray onto a wire rack and allow to cool.
