Heat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas 4). Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.
Microwave on medium (500W) for 2 minutes, stir and microwave for 2 more minutes until smooth. (Alternatively, rest the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water).
Stir together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and golden caster sugar in a large bowl.
In a jug, lightly mix together the soured cream and eggs. Pour into the dry ingredients with the melted chocolate mixture. Mix together until just combined.
Divide the mixture between the prepared paper cases and bake the muffins for 18 minutes until risen and firm. Cut a heart shape out of a piece of paper, rest paper over a muffin and dust with sieved icing sugar.
