Stir 100 g (approximately 1 cup) of flour, the baking powder and baking soda into the egg mixture, then stir in the chocolate-butter mixture. Mix until smooth.
Beat the cream cheese, orange zest and orange juice until smooth. Add the remaining egg, flour and powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Drain the sour cherries.
Line the wells of a muffin tin with paper baking cups.
Evenly divide half of the chocolate mixture into the muffin tin and top with half of the sour cherries. Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into each well, top with the remaining chocolate mixture and sour cherries. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, remove from the muffin tin and cool completely on a wire rack.
