Chocolate Muffins with Molten Center

Well, this was not suppose to be a day for making but I accidentally dropped the egg carton after grocery shopping so had to do something with the broken eggs, hence the production of these muffins! But it turned out not too bad actually, although I think I would have like it if I added a little more chocolate in the center for the molten finish.
Ingredients
1/2 cup self-rising flour (sifted)
4 tablespoons of softened margarine
1/2 cup fine white sugar
1 egg, 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetend cocoa powder
1/2 a bar of milk chocolate, broken into 8 pieces
1 tablespoon of hazelnut liquour (optional)
Icing Sugar

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180 degree celcius.
2. Cream the margarine and sugar until they are well blended.
3. Add in the eggs, flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and liquour and beat together until mixture is smooth.
4. Spoon half of the batter into your muffin holders.
5. Make a small indentation in the middle of the batter and place the piece of chocolate in the middle.
6. Spoon the remaining batter into the holders, making sure you cover the chocolate pieces.
7. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15 mins or until it has risen.
8. Leave the muffins out to cool for 3-5 minutes before dusting on the icing sugar on top.

This is best served warm and one recipe makes about 8 medium size muffins! Enjoy! :)
