Preheat the oven to 325 F. Melt the chocolate at 50% power in the microwave, in 30 second increments. Set aside to cool a bit.
-
Grease a 9X5 inch loaf pan, and then line it with parchment paper so that it overhangs the longer sides (see photo at bottom). Set aside.
-
Sift together the flour and cocoa powder. Whisk in the salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
-
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cooled melted chocolate and beat it in thoroughly. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl thoroughly. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla.
-
Add the flour mixture and room temperature coffee in 3 and 2 additions, respectively, alternating, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the chopped milk chocolate at the end.
-
Scrape (the batter will be thick) the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 65-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (if you hit a pocket of melted milk chocolate, clean your tester and try again). Let the cake cool completely in the pan before turning it out.
