CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA MARBLED QUICK BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease two mini loaf pans.
• Combine the chocolate and milk in a small bowl over a simmering pan of water and heat, whisking continuously, until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and sour cream until smooth. Pour the butter-sugar mixture over the dry ingredients and fold together just until evenly combined.
• Divide the batter in half. Add the melted chocolate to half and the vanilla to the other half.
• Pour the vanilla batter into the prepared pans. Pour the chocolate batter over the top. Gently swirl the batters together with a a knife to achieve a marbled effect.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the surface of the bread is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a crumb or two.
• Cool the bread in the baking pan for 10 minutes before turning it out and allowing it to finish cooling.

CHOCOLATE-VANILLA MARBLED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and place rack in the center of the oven. Butter and lightly flour a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a strip of parchment paper.
• Melt the chocolate with 1/4 cup of the milk in the microwave, on high, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder and salt.
• In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream with the remaining 1/4 cup milk, and the vanilla extract.
• With an electric or hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. On low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream/milk mixture. Spoon half of the batter into a separate bowl. Add the melted chocolate mixture to one half of the batter and fold in.
• With two spoons, place spoonfuls of the two mixtures into the prepared loaf pan alternately (chocolate, white, chocolate, etc.). Run a wooden skewer or knife through the two batters to achieve a marbled effect. Don't over mix.
• Bake for about 50 - 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
• Enjoy!
