Directions
Marbled Chocolate Tea Bread, The Victorians were very fond of marbled cakes The recipe is so called because the feathery swirls of chocolate that are revealed when it is sliced make a pattern similar to that of Italian marble , This had good flavor It didn’t bake up the best for me though used a glass loaf pan and it ended up getting burned on the sides and bottom I didn’t have self rising flour so used all purpose and added salt and baking powder I’m also not too sure how accurate my scale is so my weights on the sugar and flour may have been off The middle of the loaf completely caved in I was really disappointed but after I cut off the burned parts, it tasted really good I may try it again using a metal loaf pan and self rising flour to see how much difference it makes I’m giving it 4 starts for flavor b/c the rest of the problems I had are more than likely my own fault LOL
