OK , Not hard ;-) First heat the oven to 150 to get it nice and hot!!
You need a ramekin or some dariol moulds or even teacups or mugs if you want but butter them well first and cook them in a tray of water to stop the choccy burning! just a inch or two of water up the cups or moulds will do

1 1/2 oz dark chocolate and 1 1/2 oz butter melted together over hot water.
1 egg and 1 yolk beaten together with 2 oz caster sugar until fluffy , use a whisk.
Blend the chocolate/butter mix and the egg and sugar mix together , gently fold in the flour to keep the air in the mix then add the liqueur and orange zest , Divide into the moulds or even just make one bigun! and cook in the oven at 150 or gas 3 for 10 minutes
It will be crisp on top and squidgy inside so dont think its not cooked!!
you can keep them in the fridge and re-heat when you need them. (But dont overheat)
Serve with creme fraiche or cream or even custard if thats what floats yer boat!!
