Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins.
- Place chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Mix in melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and flour until combined. Pour batter into the prepared ramekins and place on a baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the sides are set but the middle is still jiggly, 10 to 13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
- Grease a shallow muffin tin with the butter and set it aside.
- Break up the tablet of jelly cubes and place into a heatproof bowl or jug. Cover with the boiling water and stir well until the jelly dissolves.
- Stir in the marmalade and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the jelly is cooling, line a 10- by 10-inch tray or Pyrex square bowl with plastic wrap. Pour in the jelly mixture and place in the refrigerator to set, which will take about 45 minutes.
- Place the egg and sugar into a bowl and, using an electric hand mixer, beat until light, creamy, and pale in color.
- Sift the self-rising flour into the bowl. Using a metal tablespoon, fold the sifted flour into the egg mixture.
- Drop a generous tablespoon of batter into each cup of the muffin tin. Tap the tin gently on the worktop before placing it in the center of the preheated oven.
- Bake until golden and slightly firm (the sponge should spring back when pressed lightly), 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing the biscuits and placing them on a cooling rack.
- While the sponge is cooking, melt the chocolate . Put a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Add the chocolate and leave it to melt. If you must stir, use a wooden spoon, never a metal one.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat as soon as it's melted and leave to cool. As the chocolate cools it will thicken and eventually harden so it may need to be heated slightly before covering the cakes.
- Take the tray of jelly from the fridge. Lift out the plastic wrap with the jelly and place onto a worktop. Using a pastry cutter, cut discs of the orange jelly slightly smaller than the cakes. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, lay a disc of jelly onto the domed uppermost surface.
- Once the chocolate is cool, spoon some over the surface of each cookie. The chocolate will run off of the sides a little but do not worry; that is the homemade look you want.
- Place each biscuit on the cooling rack as you complete them.
- Serve and enjoy.
