03 — Method
- Preheat the oven to 170 °C (340 °F) on convection, butter the loaf pan and beat the soft butter with the sugar and eggs until fluffy.
- Stir in the flour sifted with the baking powder, then divide the batter in two and add the cocoa to one half.
- Spoon the two batters alternately into the pan, then zigzag a knife tip through them to marble.
- Bake about 40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, then unmold and cool completely on a rack.
- Melt the dark chocolate over a water bath, put it in a paper cone and pipe thin concentric circles along the top of the cake.
- Immediately drag a knife tip across the circles to make a web, then let set before slicing.
