Posted 2013-07-19 by Sandra Lawson ⇒ follow

These are really easy to make and satisfy that craving for sweet and salty at the same time.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes at 160°C
Makes: 12 cakes

Ingredients
150g unsalted butter, softened
150g golden caster sugar
150g self-raising flour
3 large eggs
65ml soured cream
150g dark chocolate

For the topping
40g dark chocolate
260g salted caramel sauce (Marks and Spencer is perfect)

Method

Pre-heat the oven and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.

Break up the chocolate and melt in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.

Set aside to cool.

Beat the sugar and butter until light and creamy.

Gradually add the eggs with a spoonful of flour.

Fold in the remaining flour.

Combine the melted chocolate and soured cream.

Mix all the ingredients together.

Fill the muffin cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until the muffins are risen and firm to the touch.

Remove and cool on a wire rack.

To make the topping, melt the remaining chocolate as before, then leave to cool a little.

When the muffins are cool, top each one with a swirl of salted caramel sauce, drizzle with the melted chocolate, and leave for about half an hour for the chocolate to set.
