Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add sugar and mix. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, orange juice and zest, melted butter, oil and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix - the less you mix, the lighter the cake will be.
-
Divide batter into two and fold the melted chocolate to one of the two mixtures.
-
Dollop the orange and chocolate mixtures alternately into the pan (the post includes a photo to demonstrate it) - first, next to each other (like chess board), then, in layers on top of each other. When done, insert a knife to the mixture all the way down, and start swirling the batter gently, just don’t mix to the point where all the batter turns chocolaty.
-
Bake for about 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then turn it out from the pan and let it cool completely.
