A Simple List of Ingredients:

1. Butter
2. Caster Sugar
3. An Egg
4. Vanilla Flavouring
5. An Orange
6. Self-Raising Flour
7. Cocoa Powder

 Bismillah, let's get started!

First, preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5.


 First, place 3 ounces butter in a large mixing bowl. Make sure the butter is at room temperature.

Next, weigh out 3 ounces caster sugar.

Beat the two together until light and fluffy.

Next, take 1 egg.

And beat it in.
  
The next ingredient is vanilla flavouring.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavouring to the mixture.

Next, take 1 orange and a fine grater or zester. 

And take the zest of 1 orange.
  
From the same orange, take the juice of 1 orange.

Add the zest and the juice to the mixture.

And mix them in. I know it looks a bit weird but this is how it's supposed to look.
  
The next ingredient is self-raising flour.

Weigh out 5 ounces self-raising flour.

Add the flour to the mixture.

Next, for the chocolate flavour, you need cocoa powder.

Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Stir the flour and cocoa powder in.

 Take a muffin tray and fill with muffin paper cases.

Fill the cases with the mixture not more than 3/4 full because they will rise in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven Gas Mark 5.

Serve with coffee or tea, or top with your favourite icing!
