Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180º/Fan 160º/Gas 4 and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
- Cream the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Add the Gullane Glögg and eggs and mix until it is smooth.
- Whisk in the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder until fully combined.
- Carefully fold in the chopped-up Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for about an hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes then take out of the tin and cool on a cooling rack.
