INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Prepare a loaf pan and set aside.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside as well.

In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add in the vanilla extract as well.

Remember to scrape down the sides as necessary.

On low speed, add the flour mixture and milk/ sour cream alternatively and beat until combined. Do not overmix.

Divide the batter into two bowls. Melt chopped chocolate in the microwave and add this to one of the mixtures.

In the prepared loaf tin, using a scooper or tablespoon, dollop the vanilla and chocolate mixtures alternately first next to each other then in layers on top of each other. Using a knife or toothpick , start swirling the batter just enough. Ensure not to overmix so that the entire batter turns chocolaty.

Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before removing.
