   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease and line a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.

2. 2

   Melt 2 oz of chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring often, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour.

4. 4

   Stir one-third of batter into chocolate. Stir orange zest into remaining batter. Drop alternate spoonfuls of orange and chocolate mixtures in pan. Gently swirl with a knife for marbled effect. Bake for 30 mins, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack to cool.
