- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 180g buttermilk
- 120ml vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla essence.
Step 4
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate and raspberries. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and even out with a spatula.
Step 5
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Place the loaf on a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the loaf cake with a knife. Carefully remove loaf from pan. Let cool completely on wire rack.
Step 6
When the cake is cool, make the chocolate glaze. In a small, microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, and heat for 30 more seconds. Stir until chocolate is smooth.
Step 7
Smooth the chocolate glaze over the cooled loaf cake. Let the chocolate set. Cut into slices and serve.
