Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°c Fan / Gas 4.
Line a 1kg loaf tin with baking parchment
Place the butter in a medium sized saucepan and add the chocolate. Heat gently and stir until the butter and chocolate has melted.
Remove from the heat then stir the yogurt into the butter mixture.
Beat in the eggs and muscovado sugar- making sure there are no lumps in the sugar. Beat until smooth and then stir the flour and baking powder into the cake mixture.
Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes or until firm to the touch and a skewer comes out cleanly. Allow to cool for 5 minutes then turn out of the tin and allow to cool completely.
To decorate: Make up the chocolate icing with the butter as directed on the packet. Swirl over the cake and sprinkle with the chocolate chips for the perfect finishing touch.
