Preparation
Step 1
Filling (1)
Step 2
Beat the cream cheese and peanut butter using a stand mixer, electric beater or whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Beat in egg until combined. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Batter
Step 5
Preheat oven to 180C/350F (fan forced / convection) or 200C / 390F (standard).
Step 6
Spray a loaf and line a loaf pan (23.5 x 13cm / 8½ x 4¼") with parchment / baking paper. (I just tear a piece off to line the long side, per photo in post)
Step 7
Whisk together flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.
Step 8
Melt butter in microwave in a large heatproof bowl, then whisk in oil and cocoa powder.
Step 9
Whisk in eggs, yoghurt and vanilla into chocolate mixture. Pour mixture into flour and mix until just combine. Stir through chocolate chips.
Step 10
Assembly
Step 11
Remove Filling from fridge, give it a good mix to loosen it up - if it's too stiff, it will sink into the batter.
Step 12
Pour 1/3 of the batter into the loaf pan, smooth surface.
Step 13
Pour over the Filling and smooth surface.
Step 14
Add 2 tbsp hot water into remaining Batter (5), give it a quick mix to combine. Then pour batter over the Filling and smooth surface.
Step 15
Bake for 15 minutes, then turn oven down to 160C/320F (fan forced / convection) or 180C / 350F (standard oven). Bake for 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the top half of the cake comes out almost clean.
Step 16
Stand for 15 minutes in the loaf pan before using parchment paper overhang to lift onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing - it takes a few hours.
Step 17
Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate and/or peanut butter white chocolate (7).
