Ingredients

¼ cup + 2 tablespoons butter (84 grams)
2 ounces dark chocolate (semi sweet) chopped (56 grams)
2 cups all purpose flour
⅔ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa (dutch processed)
1¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt*
1 cup plain yogurt (whole) (250 grams)
¼ cup milk (whole or 2%) (60 grams)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup chocolate chunks (milk, semi sweet or a mixture) (84 grams)

*If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon salt.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

8 ounces chocolate (dark, milk or a mixture) chopped (150 grams)
¼ cup cream (whole/heavy/whipping or half and half) (60 grams)
2 tablespoons butter (soft)

Instructions

Pre-heat oven 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 9 inch (23 cm) loaf pan.
In a small bowl place the butter and chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot with water, make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat stirring often until the butter and chocolate have melted and is a smooth mixture.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
In a medium bowl whisk together the yogurt, milk, egg and vanilla until well combined.
Add the yogurt mixture and melted butter/chocolate to the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, make sure the flour has been incorporated, it will probably be lumpy but that is perfect. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.
Spoon into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 40-55 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes in the pan then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with a simple chocolate glaze. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Heat butter and cream until butter is melted, mix together, remove from heat then add the chopped chocolate and stir continuously until smooth, add a little extra cream if too thick (make sure cream is warm), set aside 2 minutes to cool before using.
