Directions:
- Grease an 8” by 4” loaf tin and line the base and sides with greaseproof paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in the flour.
- Transfer half the mixture to another bowl and beat in the orange zest, juice and orange extract, if using.
- Break the chocolate into pieces, put into a small bowl and place over a pan of simmering water; stir until the chocolate melts.
- Stir into the remaining cake mixture with the cocoa powder.
- Put alternate spoonfuls of the two mixtures into the prepared tin, and use a knife to swirl through the mixture to make a marbled effect, then level the surface.
- Bake at 350°F for about 11/4- 11/2 hours, until well risen and firm to the touch.
- Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
- Serve cut into slices.
