Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 3 oz. semisweet chocolate

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray an 8”x4” loaf pan with nonstick baking spray; set pan aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes on medium speed).
  • Add sour cream, eggs and vanilla extract; mix on low speed until well combined.
  • Add flour and baking soda; mix on low speed until well combined.
  • Coarsely chop the chocolate and melt using a double-boiler.
  • Transfer ⅓ of the cake batter into a separate bowl. Add melted chocolate; stir until well combined.
  • Pour ~½ of the plain batter into prepared baking pan. Next, add chocolate batter, but do not stir together. Pour remaining plain batter on top.
  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently swirl the batters together in 4-5 strokes. Do not overblend.
  • Bake at 350°F for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out mostly clean. (Note: Tent pan with foil after 30 minutes to prevent the top from burning.)
  • Let cake cool before removing from pan and slicing.
