Rich Chocolate Muffin with a chocolate fudge centre, a real treat for chocoholics.

Ingredients

• 125 grams dark chocolate
• ¼ cup cream
• 2½ cups flour
• ½ cup cocoa
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup non-fat plain yoghurt
• ¼ cup cream
• 1 cup cold water
• 100 grams butter, melted and cooled

Method

1. Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof jug with the cream. Microwave for 1 minute on high or until the chocolate has melted. Stir well and leave until cool enough to roll into 12 even shaped balls.
2. Sift the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
3. In a jug blend together the eggs, yoghurt and second measure of cream and water. Blend into the dry ingredients and fold in the butter as you go.
4. Half fill 12 well greased muffin tins with the mixture. Place a chocolate fudge ball in each and top with the remaining muffin mix.
5. Bake at 220 degrees Celsius for 15-18 minutes until well risen and cooked.
6. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before dusting with icing sugar to serve.

Cooks Tips

- There are so many different chocolates on the market for cooking with. Milk chocolate does not have enough flavour. I use Cadbury's Energy Chocolate which I find gives the best result. - If you do not have yoghurt, substitute 1 cup sour cream for the yoghurt and second measure of cream.
