Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
Step 2
Grease and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin.
Step 3
To make the loaf cake batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
Step 4
Beat in the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder, milk and cocoa until smooth.
Step 5
Stir in the chocolate chips, then scrape into the tin.
Step 6
Bake for 45-50 mins until golden, risen and a skewer poked in the centre comes out clean.
Step 7
Cool in the tin, then lift out onto a wire rack over some kitchen paper.
Step 8
Melt the extra chocolate chunks separately in pans over barely simmering water, or in bowls in the microwave, then use a spoon to drizzle each in turn over the cake.
Step 9
Leave to set before slicing.
