Chocolate-Orange Muffins

Hi guys this evening I bring up a recipe, not much an art history thing but I beleive that food is also an art and like many paintings that represent food, picnics etc. I think that chefs are also artists and instead of canvas they "paint" on plates.
So here is a recipe from one of the tops culinary schools "The Cordon Bleu"

Recipe by the Cordon Bleu

Baking pan with 12 cups, oiled.‎
Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl and put the bowl in a pot filled with hot water until ‎they melt. Leave it to chill.‎

Make a hole in the center.‎
In another mixing bowl beat the eggs, pour in the milk and the orange peel and mix ‎together. Pour the batter and the chocolate in the hole of the flours mix.‎
Combine it all, leave some lumps in the batter, so don't mix it too much.‎
