Ingredients

2 cups Plain Flour
3/4 cups Caster Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
2 Large Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, melted
1 cup Sour Cream
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2 teaspoons Light Corn Syrup

Directions

1

For the bread:
2

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F or Gas 4). Butter or spray an 9x5 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
3

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4

Whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, butter, and sour cream. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix. Pour half of the mixture into a separate bowl, and fold in the cocoa powder.
5

Spoon a dollop of each mixture alternately into the prepared pan, then using a toothpick, swirl the two mixtures together. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover loosely with aluminium foil halfway through baking to prevent the bread from browning too much.
6

For the glaze:
7

Place chocolate chips, butter, and syrup in a heat-proof bowl, and microwave until completely melted and smooth, stirring every 10 seconds. Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread, and leave to set.
