Lemon Chocolate EVOO Marble Bread
From: 
 
Makes one 8.5-by-4.5-inch loaf bread
INGREDIENTS
  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ fleur de sel
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup whole-milk yogurt
  • 2 lemons, grated and juiced (yielding about 3 tablespoons of juice)
  • ¾ extra-virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add chocolate and stir until chocolate has melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and fleur de sel. Set aside. In a large bowl, add sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt and lemon juice. Using a hand held mixer, beat the ingredients to combine. Keeping the motor running, pour the EVOO in to the mixture until smooth.
  3. Scoop out one-third out of the batter in to a clean bowl. Fold in the chocolate and lemon zest. Set aside.
  4. Lightly oil a 8.5-by-4.5-inch loaf pan. Fill the pan with alternating spoonfuls of the white and chocolate batters. And using skinny-bladed knife or thin skewer, swirl a continous letter S pattern for a full-on marble effect. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake pan onto the rack.
