Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare a loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and lightly flouring it to prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter (along with the margarine, if using) until light and creamy.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the butter mixture.
-
Beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until well blended.
-
Add the sour cream and vanilla to the batter, and beat until fully incorporated.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next.
-
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the melted chocolate, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to create the chocolate swirl.
-
Sprinkle half of the chocolate mixture over the batter in the pan.
-
Mix the remaining chocolate mixture into the remaining batter in the bowl until evenly distributed.
-
Pour the remaining batter into the pan over the first layer, spreading it out evenly.
-
Using a knife, gently swirl the chocolate mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
-
Bake the pound cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before serving to ensure it sets properly.
