Steps:
- In a large bowl using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Beat in the butter until combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, 1 Tablespoon milk, and salt and beat on medium-high speed until combined and creamy. Add 1 more Tablespoon of milk to slightly thin out, if desired. Taste, then add another pinch of salt if desired.
- Cover and store leftover frosting for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. After freezing, thaw in the refrigerator then beat the frosting for a few seconds so it's creamy again.

Steps:
- Grease and line your 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with baking or parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add sugars and gently stir.
- In the microwave, heat the butter in a large heatproof bowl until just melted, stirring in between 20 second bursts. Add your vanilla and eggs to your butter and whisk gently until combined.
- Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients, add wet ingredients along with buttermilk. Very gently fold the mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is just combined - be careful not to over mix. Add 75 grams (1/2 cup) of chocolate chips to the batter.
- Pour mixture into prepared tin and sprinkle extra 35 grams (1/4 cup) of chocolate chips on top. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Whisk together powdered sugar and cocoa in a medium bowl; gradually add to butter mixture alternately with 5 Tbsp. cream. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. (If needed, add up to 1 Tbsp. cream, 1 tsp. at a time, to reach desired consistency.) Increase speed to medium, and beat 1 to 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter come together more easily and result in a smoother, more consistent loaf of bread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
- Let the bread cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
