Instructions
For the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add in the two eggs and cream again until fluffy, about another minute. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Using a sifter, sift in the flour, salt, and baking soda. Then mix in the dry ingredients.
- Add in the vinegar and milk and mix, until just combined.
- Line the bottom of a large loaf tin with parchment paper. Pour the cake batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake the loaf for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and let cool 10 minutes in the loaf pan. Then take a knife and go around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake from the pan.
- Remove the loaf from the pan and peel the parchment paper off the bottom. Place the loaf on a cooling rack to cool.
For the Glaze
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and half and half.
- Microwave for one minute, until the chocolate chips are completely melted. Using a spoon, stir together the chocolate and half and half until combined and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate glaze onto the top of the loaf. Use a knife, or the back of a spoon to spread the glaze on the top of the cake. Let the cake sit for about 10 minutes to let the glaze set a bit.
- Then slice and serve the cake.
