Directions:

1

Watch how to make this recipe

2

Special equipment: a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan For the marmalade butter: Mix the butter, marmalade, orange zest and sea salt together in a bowl until smooth

3

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld

4

Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving

5

For the swirl bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

6

Brush a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter, or spray with nonstick spray; set aside

7

Combine the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and fine salt in a medium bowl

8

Place the sugar and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until well combined (it'll look like wet sand), about 1 minute

9

Turn the mixer to medium speed and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition

10

Reduce the speed to low, add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds

11

Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle

12

Add the flour mixture, and mix until just combined

13

Remove the bowl from the mixer and drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the batter

14

Using a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate into the batter until it's just swirled in

15

(Be careful not to fully incorporate the chocolate into the batter--you want a marbled effect

16

) Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer

17

Bake until the bread is browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes

18

Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes

19

Remove from pan and let cool another 10 minutes before slicing

20

Serve with the marmalade butter
