I struggled for ages to find a great recipe, now I just do a standard fairy cake mixture (equal weight of eggs, SR flour, sugar, margarine / butter) then add cocoa powder and chocolate chips (as much as looks right). I also add the zest / peel of an orange and some of the juice of the orance. No science to it but they turn out great!!! Cook for about 25 mins, 180 in a fan oven!

Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and roughly mix it doest have to be smooth Add the raspberries last and mix very very carefully not to breah up the fruit (you can never avoid some getting broken up in the dough)

Fill a muffin tray with paper cases and fill each case approximately two thirds with muffin mixture

Bake for 20 - 25 minutes
