This Apricot Preserve Chocolate Loaf is a very decadent chocolate dessert. Surprisingly, it’s so easy to make as well. As a matter of fact, the cookbook actually called for bitter orange marmalade but I ran out so I used apricots preserve. So instead of calling it as Bitter Marmalade Chocolate Loaf, I’m calling it Apricot Preserve Chocolate Loaf.
INGREDIENTS :
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into small pieces
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
1 3/4 cups flour
FILLING :
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup apricots preserve
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup sour cream
extra apricots preserve as garnish
